Sepp Blatter: Pride and Abandonment

Joseph Khakshouri

I was commissioned to portray Sepp Blatter for Sonntagsblick, with journalist Astrid von Stockar. It was 11 months after the FIFA scandal broke, and I found him very cheerful, but completely alone. It seemed to me that no one wanted to be near him. Even a jogger called out to me that he didn't want to be in the background of one of these pictures.
