He takes the audience on an exciting journey through time through his life and his life's work. The lecture describes in detail from the rock stars in the 70s and 80s, to the production of the Marlboro Man in the 90s, from fashion photography to "Momentous", an interactive art installation the development process of a great artist and his need for transformation.

Hannes Schmid also talks about his aid organization Smiling Gecko, with which he launched a project in Cambodia that offers education, training and regular income for several 1000 Cambodians and enables the people there to live a self-determined life.
