Kurzfassung:
Aby Warburg’s famous talk on the “Serpent Ritual,” held in 1923 at the Kreuzlinger Sanatorium Bellevue, was not a lecture “illustrated” with photographs, but rather a projection of slides on which, according to concurring reports of people present, the scholar commented freely and partly improvised. Even though the oral presentation is gone, the glass slides that were the basis of his “performance” have mostly been preserved. The consequences of this largely-ignored fact, which touch on the relationship between image and speech as well as on the specific medial function of photographic projection—and thus upon Warburg’s visual anthropological approach—are subject here to a first detailed analysis.
