Yard Sales
These images of yard sales were taken across the United States. Because people assign their own prices and emphasizing the interactions between buyer and seller, it is possible to see yard sales as spaces where people invert and subvert the normal relations of the market economy. At the same time yard sales raise questions about consumerist culture in the U.S. and the waste it produces.
