Rent the exhibition and book talks
Are you looking to inspire your community, organization, or company? I’d love to bring the one thing project to your event. As the creator of this project, I offer talks, workshops, and the opportunity to rent the one thing photo exhibition.
The exhibition sparks deep reflection on important questions like: What do I truly need? What matters most in my life? It invites visitors to explore conscious consumption, minimalism, and sustainability in a new light. The exhibition showcases a rich variety of objects — each one carrying a unique, personal story from the people who submitted them.
I believe minimalism has the power to inspire anyone. But for me, minimalism isn’t about owning less; it’s about focusing on what’s truly essential. Through my talks and workshops, I share insights from my own journey and the fascinating stories behind people’s favorite possessions. Together, we dive into topics like: the life-changing encounters with individuals and their objects, how minimalism can shape a lifestyle, and my perspective on our consumer-driven society.
Let’s connect, spark conversations, and explore the beauty of simplicity together. Book a session today and bring the one thing project to life in your space! Get in touch for more details.
Rent the exhibition
The one thing exhibition shows portraits of people and their favorite objects. The starting point of the project is a simple question: What is the one thing you don’t want to live without? The exhibition encourages visitors to reflect on questions like: What do I really need? What is important to me in life? It opens up the worlds of conscious consumption, minimalism and sustainability. You can expect an impressive variety of objects from you participants, with unique and fascinating stories behind them all. In fact, the answers to this question may even be surprising, and often touching.
The exhibition can be designed flexibly. It is advisable to create an interaction area where material can be laid out and visitors can write down on a piece of paper what their own one thing is. We are happy to help you create a program around the exhibition.
Book a talk or a workshop
I started the one thing project in 2018 with the goal of inspiring people to reflect on what truly matters in their lives. Minimalism has been a part of my life for about 10 years now. Over time, I’ve simplified my belongings to the point where I now travel as a nomad with just two pieces of luggage.
To me, minimalism isn’t about having less; it’s about creating a framework that helps us focus on what’s truly essential. I believe minimalism can inspire anyone to live more intentionally.
With this perspective, I offer talks and workshops on topics such as my encounters with people and their favorite objects, minimalism as a lifestyle, and my thoughts on consumer society. Let’s talk about your event and how I can support you in making it impactful.
