Erwin Huppert

A collage-like work that plays with a variety of visual and auditory elements. The film combines scenes from Lausanne, Lake Geneva, and Odesa, interweaving cityscapes, stairwells, and street scenes. The images are accompanied by a mixture of distorted sound, choral singing, and marching music. Intertitles in Cyrillic script and humorous texts reinforce the film's experimental aesthetic. The film ends with a note stating that it was found in the year 3973 and dates back to 1972, with the assumption that the sound and colors were partially erased by radioactive residue.
