Shows a young man vandalising his apartment which is then assiduously reassembled by his alter ego, only to be destroyed once again. As in the first part of the trilogy, the room is recognisable as a film set and neglects the cinematic effect of illusion. The wordplay of the title refers, like "The Soundmaker" (2004), to a film profession pursued more or less behind the scenes: the stuntman. "Stunned Man" (2004) is the second part of Rosefeldt's "Trilogy of Failure" (2004/2005) in which three different settings draw a picture of our vain entanglement with everyday rituals.
