Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
Creative Direction
The sixth episode of the collaborative fashion film “GIGA 8” between the Moving Image
Class (Prof. Stini Roehrs, University of the Arts Berlin) and Fashion Design
(Prof. Lars Paschke, Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle) centered
around model and actress Gigi Spelsberg.
The episode is a dreamlike film scene that explores stagnation and invisibility, set
within a waiting room that becomes a visual metaphor for many different situations. What
people are waiting for varies widely, from something as ordinary as a bus to something as
consequential as a work permit or gender-affirming legal recognition. The scene reveals a
tension between powerlessness and self-empowerment within a setting where hierarchy can be
felt from the very beginning. In the end, individual action emerges as the only way to
reclaim control.
