Project: 24 Photographers in 24 Timezones take a Photo of the Sunset within 24 Hours.


Hi!My name is Gregor, I'm an artist from Zurich, Switzerland. In my work I mostly concern with the relationship between humans and their environment, be it social, urban, political or natural. Sometimes I'm interested in small details and tiny moments of interaction, sometimes it's interesting to test out the very biggest contexts that art can embrace.It's crazy to think how far we have pushed globalization and how far it has pushed us. And it's even more crazy to think about how there still seem to be boundaries and fences keeping us from actually working together and creating a world that is more just and fair for everyone.The idea that I put in the title is a new project that I just started working on, and as so often Reddit makes for a good starting point, just to get some input, figure out what possible problems and chances could be. And that from people around the world!So, let's go: The idea is that 24 different photographers living or working in 24 different timezones take a photo of the sunset at roughly the same time (in their respective timezone). This would result in a more or less full documentation of one sunset during 24 hours. The challenge is not a photographic one, it is one that concerns organization. People have to be found, coordinated, organized. Pictures have to be collected and edited. 24 different cultures coming together is never easy, but always interesting!I don't know where to start with this, that's why I'm calling for my brothers and sisters on reddit for inputs. Everyone who is interested in the project reach out to me, I'm sure that we could make this work some way and I'm sure it could be very cool!Cheers!Website via /r/photography https://ift.tt/2lUeYg4
