Time that we take, is Time that gives us something back.
Falk Siegel, born in 1982 and raised in the Munich area, has spent a lot of time on and off the world's most famous race tracks, allowing the models of renowned car manufacturers to shine in front of his camera. On behalf of Red Bull, he has portrayed exceptional athletes around the world, including ice swimmers in Murmansk, tribal triathletes on Easter Island and indigenous wrestlers in Bolivia.
The detail-loving autodidact prepares his shoots meticulously; the planning of lighting design, visual language and aesthetics usually takes several days. With his production company Siegelfilm GmbH, he has produced countless advertising and image films for clients such as BMW Motorsport, Mercedes-Benz, Red Bull and Telekom Magenta Sport.
In the last two years, Falk has increasingly focused on the things that are particularly close to his heart: the portrayal of old crafts and the people who preserve them; the documentation of trades that are as rich in tradition as they are in history. He is particularly fascinated by the close connection between people, tradition and craftsmanship, which is carried on imaginatively in many traditional workshops - and thus sometimes outlasts generations.
Falk Siegel's films do not just focus on the individual techniques and skills of the workers. His aim is to go deeper - and to tell the personal stories behind each craft. His works are characterized by a deep respect for craftsmanship - but also by the urgency to prevent it from falling into oblivion.
The films offer a rare glimpse behind the scenes of trades that nowadays often only exist in niches or in obscurity. In a society that is increasingly geared towards efficiency, automation, globalization and instant gratification, his films make it clear that craftsmanship is not just a particularly artistic form of production, but a way of life.
