Translated from: Freunde der Deutschen Kinemathek e.V. (eds.), 'Hans Richter. Film ist Rhythmus', Kinemathek 95, Vol. 40, Berlin, 2003, p. 113. "There are two fragments of different length, both on 16mm unfortunately: one eight-minute-long copy (11521 frames) as well as a four-minute-long one, which does not contain any new material but only the second sequence from the eight-minute copy." Translated from: Jeanpaul Goergen, 'Hans Richter: Poesie als Programm', Filmblatt 28, Vol. 10, Berlin, autumn 2005, p. 29.
