Project: Burning House Project


(Part one and Part two)

What would you take with you if your house was on fire? It's a classic question but have you really thought through the answer?

This is the exact premise of Robert Holden's intriguing project, titled The Burning House. "It's a conflict between what's practical, valuable, and sentimental," he says. "What you would take reflects your interests, background and priorities. Think of it as an interview condensed into one question."

What's most fascinating about the series is the noticeable and extreme differences. While some would take weapons like guns or knives, others find that their most valuable belongings include books, cameras, or basketballs.
