NO, I AM NOT A TOAD, I AM A TURTLE!

2012 / 16mm / color / sound / 1S / 44' 01

Neither an ethnographic, nor narrative documentary or essay film, the film is about ontological difference and a narrative force that follows a different syntax. It gives a different answer to [Chris] Marker‘s question about unification with ‘things’ through cinematic means. Images are not necessarily identical with what is visible. Rather, the image has a semi-autonomous mimetic capacity, an alluring and transformative power; it is a pervasive node, a being. - excerpt by Anselm Franke
