Self - Painter
Pintor e escultor, Stanislav Szukalski reimaginou a arte polonesa, criando uma espécie de mitologia própria através de suas pinturas e desenhos. Ele parecia destinado à grandiosidade, mas com a chegada da Segunda Guerra Mundial, quase todo seu trabalho foi perdido. Através de entrevistas com Szukalski, imagens de arquivo e conforme novos artistas descobrem sua obra, conta-se a extraordinária história de sua vida.
The film offers a unique insight into the world of Giger's creation and his private life. In addition to the interview with the artist himself, a considerable part of the documentary is formed by interviews with personalities such as Ernst Fuchs, Stanislav Grof and Debbie Harry. Though the authors do not avoid particular developmental periods of Giger's work, the main purpose was not to create the artist's biography. In this case, it is more likely considered to be an authentic perspective on the peculiar world of this Swiss surrealist artist.
