Overview

"Sneeze explores the stigmatized symptom of common cold—the involuntary expulsion of air and bodily fluid—as an allegory of social ruptures that might mediate infectious resistance. Mixing the Cold War era's educational film footage promoting personal hygiene as a ‘war against germs’ with images of explosive creation, this film aesthetically subverts the uniquely modern fantasy of separation and isolation of the ‘healthy’ from the ‘ill’."
