Project Details
I Translated Dollar-street sites. Imagine if the world lived along a single street, with the richest households on one end, the poorest on the other — and every door flung open to the public. That’s the vision behind Dollar Street, an online photo gallery of everyday objects from more than 200 households, representing every rung of the income ladder. The Dollar Street website will launch in January 2016, according to its project manager Anna Rosling-Rönnlund (TEDxStockholm Talk: Using photos as data to understand how people live). She hopes that visitors will browse through galleries of toothbrushes, tables, shoes and toys and see how each object is transformed by the pressures of poverty. “If we’re of a certain material living standard,” she says, “it’s very hard for us to understand their sheer variety.” Here, she shares the astounding variety of “toothbrush” photographs, which she hopes will upend our very notion of luxury.
