"Axolotl"

Axolotl

Video still, appr. 11 minutes
(made in collaboration with Arne B. Langleite)
2008

In this video, a stereotypical war correspondent in what is presumably a live news broadcast, reads the short story "Axolotl" by Julio Cortázar, from beginning to end. The short story tells of a man who, by spending too much time in front of the Aquarium at the Zoo, eventually turns into a salamander.
