This film’s experimental editing brings together various motifs, some of which were filmed from television sets, and some of which are by Scheirl himself: suburban homes, the sphinxes in the garden of Vienna’s Belvedere Palace, a train ride, a fashion show, a Concorde taking off, a woman swimming, a dandy-figure in a black suit, the artist filming his own shadow as he walks or as he skis straight down a slope, and more. Sound is provided by the song “Planet Claire” by the new wave band The B-52’s. S.E.
