Photographic Experiments with Green Screen

Until 23rd January 2014.

How do different backgrounds change the impression a person or an object makes? In a week-long workshop, a group of young people of the initiative Joblinge gAG FrankfurtRheinMain investigated this question using photography and film. A green screen was installed in the Green Room, which served as a backdrop and enabled one to add any background or object to the photographs.

This exhibition was conceptualized and prepared in a collaboration between the artists and mediators Ani Schulze, Esther Poppe, Carolin Knebel as well as young adults of the initiative Joblinge gAG FrankfurtRheinMain. It shows the unusual and sometimes humorous photographs and films made by the teenagers. It also includes the “Green Screen Studio”, where visitors can produce and edit their own images during specially offered workshops.

The goal of the initiative Joblinge gAG FrankfurtRheinMain is to achieve a realistic chance of an apprenticeship position for young adults.

Δ ENCYCLOPAEDIA CINEMATOGRAPHICA

Ethnographic short films from A-Z

Until 1st December 2013

Exhibition Opening: Tuesday, 29th October, 6pm

As part of “B3”, the Frankfurt biennale of the moving image, the Museum presents for the first time a selection of over 100 ethnographic short films, produced between 1952 and 1994 under the title of “Encyclopaedia Cinematographica”.

From the construction of a bridge in Afghanistan through to ray angling on the Gilbert Islands or the preparation of a poison arrow in Venezuela – these documentaries, shot on 16mm film, attempted to capture the essence of cultural innovation in different regions. Based on these “optical specimens” a cinematic lexicon of research and knowledge from around the world was created.

The exhibition curated by Alice Pawlik presents these films in a sequence from A to Z along with accompanying publications and fieldwork photography.
