The Most Interesting Person | Stuart Acker Holt | TEDxMünchen

Показать описание

Stuart Holt was born into a North West London family and raised in large part by Yami, a Mauritian lady who was like a second mother. Yami would pack his lunch box with raw red chillis, vegetable rice and chapati. This was atypical for a 6 year old’s lunch box at the Jewish Junior school he went to. The experience invigorated a taste for the unfamiliar, which was so much more fun and appealing then jam and peanut sandwiches! Later, this curiosity would drive his career as a photographer and film-maker, motivating him to seek out subjects that were at first strange but would be made familiar to him. However, nothing would prepare him for the journey that the Most Interesting Person project has propelled him on. This project of interconnected films which he started as a ‘happy accident’ has taken him on a voyage of hidden people, ideas and relationships that has challenged many pre-conceived ideas.
