Summary/Abstract: The focus is on different types of laughter: from laughing at oneself, restrained laughter, a smile as an expression of joy, a smile as an expression of pain to mocking laughter and a hearty laugh. The evoked images oscillate between scenes on the street, Robert Capa’s photographs from 1945 taken for “Life” magazine, laughter lessons in a drama school drawn from “Lachschule der Gebrüder Laschensky” (Laughter School of the Laschensky Brothers) and gales of laughter (canned laughing) from the US series “The Big Bang Theory”.
