DESERT 79°: THREE JOURNEYS<br />

BEYOND THE KNOWN WORLD<br />

Anna Abrahams<br />

Desert 79° wagt einen Blick über die bekannte Welt<br />

hinaus. Drei historische Berichterstattungen über die<br />

Suche von Arktis-Reisenden nach dem Unbekannten,<br />

die in verschiedenen Weißtönen gefilmt wurden (1) Der<br />

Grieche Pytheas beschrieb als erster den Arktischen<br />

Ozean (330 v.Chr.). (2) Admiral John Ross traf die einzigen<br />

Bewohner des Universums an einer unbekannten<br />

arktischen Küste (1819). (3) Nachdem sein Heißluftballon<br />

auf dem Weg zum Nordpol abgestürzt war,<br />

machte sich der schwedische Erfinder Andree zu Fuß<br />

auf eine lange Reise über das Eis (1897).<br />

Desert 79° looks over the edge of the known world.<br />

Three historical accounts of Arctic travellers in search<br />

of the unknown filmed in different tints of white. (1)<br />

The Greek Pytheas was the first to describe the Arctic<br />

Ocean (330 BC). (2) Admiral John Ross met the only inhabitants<br />

of the universe on an unknown Arctic coast<br />

(1819). (3) After his hot air balloon crashed on its way<br />

to the North Pole, the Swedish inventor Andree embarked<br />

on a long journey by foot over the ice cap<br />

(1897).<br />

LA FOSSE AUX LIONS<br />

Phillipp Hauss<br />

Familienfilme zeigen nie Katastrophen, und das obwohl<br />

die meisten Familiengeschichten genau aus diesen<br />

Katastrophen bestehen. Die Kamera wird ausgeschaltet,<br />

wenn der Streit beginnt. Nur Kindern ist es<br />

vergönnt, manchmal zu weinen, aber dann stehen<br />

meistens die Erwachsenen um sie herum und lächeln<br />

beruhigend. Die Nicht-Abbildung der Katastrophe ist<br />

auch das Bezeichnende an Werner Herzogs Film ›La<br />

soufrière‹, ein Bericht über einen Vulkanausbruch, der<br />

dann doch nicht stattfindet.<br />

Home movies never depict catastrophes, and that although<br />

most families' narrations consist of nothing<br />

but catastrophes. The camera is turned off when the<br />

arguments begin. Only children seem to have the privilege<br />

of crying on camera, but in most cases surrounded<br />

by adults smiling soothingly. The non-depiction of<br />

the catastrophe is also the significant characteristic<br />

of Werner Herzog's film ›La soufrière‹, a report on a<br />

volcanic eruption that does not take place.<br />
