古斯塔夫‧阿道夫‧施羅德 Gustav-Adolf Schroeder 1981, 10:05mins

簡介/Synopsis

1980年代初，西柏林一方面是一個得到國家高額資助但文化氛圍相當無聊的城市；另一方面，另類文化正也在蓬勃發展。誰也不知道，這種文化將會往哪裡發展下去。就在這種混亂的局勢下，「大毀滅秀——天才業餘者節慶」於1981年9月4日在一個馬戲團的帳篷裡舉行了。這場事件後來成為近代音樂史中，德國龐克音樂的里程碑。
古斯塔夫‧阿道夫‧施羅德當時帶了一台老舊的攝影機，用黑白片記錄下了「倒塌中的新建築」樂團等的演出。他成功地在混亂和完美的舞步片段之間，拍攝深刻且具有歷史意義的畫面。

At the beginning of the 1980’s West-Berlin was, on the one hand, a city with a highly subsidised but rather boring cultural scene. On the other hand, an alternative scene was flourishing and no-one knew where it would lead to. Amidst this hurly-burly,“The Big Downfall Show – Festival of Genius Dilletantes”took place in a circus tent. The event went down in recent music history as a milestone in German punk music.
Gustav Adolf Schroeder was there with some old video gear and documented the appearance of the Einstürzenden Neubauten, among others, in black and white. He succeeded in getting impressive historical images somewhere between chaos and moments of perfect choreography.
