How would you change the world in 31 days? The acclaimed
photographer Stefan Schacher asked this question himself. And he came up with a
simple challenge: 31 portraits of creative and cutting-edge people in 31 days.
He already did two projects, one in New York and one in Kunming, China, before
launching the project this year for Zurich. I went to an artist talk with
Stefan, inspired by the portrait of Sally Montana, a photographer who sits next
to me in Zurich. Interestingly Stefan had some truly Zen-insights while racing
through the 31 days. He said that about half of the people he knew. However,
despite careful planning not every day ran smoothly and on one day he didn’t
have a person to portrait until 8pm, before stumbling upon someone. His lesson
was that sometimes in life you have to let go and trust that it will work out.
Sometimes, it is about doing without a purpose, trusting the gut feeling.
