Victors tägliche Wut

Idea by Christoph Bauer
TV Segment
8-10 Minutes / weekly
Pro 7

Victor is easily angered, very easily angered. The hot-tempered Berliner constantly faces little quirks of everyday life, which drive him insane: Why does it take so long for money to be wired to his account? Why is Victor allowed to smoke in some bars and not in others? Why is an expired parking ticket more expensive than being caught without one at all? And so on and so forth.
Once Victor has had about enough, nothing can stop him. And thus he rushes, red in the face, to the offices of those responsible, forces his way into the offices of PR managers, chairmen, and other experts, stands at their desks and lets loose.

 

Loverooms – die Architektur der Erotik

Directed by Christoph Bauer
60 Minutes
rbb / Arte

The documentary “LOVEROOMS – The Architecture of the Erotic” explores the love castles, high-end brothels, and hot-sheet motels of the world. The film focuses on the rooms in which the act of love takes place and the people who use them. It furthermore shows how the designs of the rooms and their architectural concepts reflect a changing understanding of sexuality and erotica across time periods and societies. From trivial utilitarianism to artistically relevant conceptual architecture. A documentary that blurs the boundary between film and photography.
