der/gelbe/klang: SCREENSHOT

In the organizer's words:

A man brings a pinch of snuff to his nose - and sneezes heartily twice! Why did Thomas Edison choose this particular scene in January 1894 to present his newly developed "Kinetograph", which could be used to record short sequences of moving images and play them back later? We do not know. In any case, his assistant Fred Ott, the only actor in the 9-second film Fred Ott's Sneeze, went down in film history. Leopold Hurt's composition of the same name inspired the ensemble der/gelbe/klang to create this program, in which a hidden jazz standard, an old cinema in Vietnam and the acrid smell of oil play a role.
