HOMMAGE À RAYMOND ROUSSEL A F I L M B Y P E T E R V O L K A R T Fiction, 35mm, Deutsche Originalversion (s.t. français, english subtitles), 15 min, Switzerland 2005 He was in the headlines for a brief period in the late 1920s: Igor Leschenko, the young physicist from Hermannstadt, whose bizarre experiments cast doubt upon the law of gravity. The debacle at the pataphysicist convention leads to a secret expedition to the point of zero gravity. Rare film documents of a hazardous journey beyond Zentropa through the Karfunkel archipelago. Will Leschenko ever find the Nanopol island? Igor Leschenko a brièvement fait les gros titres à la fin des années 20. Le jeune physicien d’Hermannstadt qui avait ébranlé la loi de la gravité avec ses expériences bizarres, c’est lui. La débâcle au congrès des pataphysiciens fut suivie d’une expédition secrète jusqu’au point d’anti-gravité. Des films documentaires rares retracent un voyage au-delà de Zentropa à travers l’archipel menaçant de Karfunkel. Igor Leschenko découvrira-t-il l’île Nanopol? Ende der 20er Jahre war er kurz in den Schlagzeilen: Igor Leschenko, der junge Physiker aus Hermannstadt, der mit seinen bizarren Experimenten das Gesetz der Schwerkraft ins Wanken bringt. Das Debakel am Kongress der Pataphysiker führt zu einer geheimen Expedition zum Antigravitätspunkt. Rare Filmdokumente einer Reise jenseits von Zentropa durch den bedrohlichen Karfunkel-Archipel. Wird Leschenko die Insel Nanopol je finden? (...) Volkart pays homage to both Raymond Roussel and Pataphysics and, in a certain way, continues where “The Young Eskimo” left off. With the difference that then a stranger reached the unfamiliar shores of this earth while here, on November 31, an expedition to unexplored regions in high latitudes begins. ”But above all” the narrator asks, “what is this Leschenko doing in my head all this time?” – showing images half-“Zelig”, half-“Gizmo” of bizarre experiments made by the young physicist from Hermannstadt, pictures which are soon replaced by wild and empty landscapes and “temporarily nailed-together” futuristic cities, leaving us without any hope of ever arriving somewhere.
