Is that a film at all? As far as one wants to affirm the question, it is a film that is derived to most attributes that generally differentiate the moving picture from a photo. A rigid camera setting fixes the tip of the Empire State Building. In this way, Andy Warhol has exposed Zelluloid for over six hours, without sound, from the onset of dusk to late at night. According to the instruction of the New York avant-garde icon, the material is to be projected in 16 instead of 24 frames per second and thus comes to a performance duration of over 8 hours. To slow down a standing picture, that already has a philosophical dimension.
A short version of the film can be seen in the Cologne Stadtgarten. The saxophonist and composer Fabian Dudek and a five -member line -up with their own soundtrack will be used for 50 minutes. It is the phase of the transition from day to night, from light to dark, a very gradual, but hardly noticeable but drastic change for the temporal resolution of the eye. Is the contrast accentuated musically? The standing image acoustically set in motion or painted over in timbres? In 2025, Dudek is all about a new composition technology, with which he also works for this premiere.
