Works
Martins Kohout is an artist, publisher, and a late-night baker. They look to bring intimacy and empathy between strangers, despite and because of the shape-shifting realities of communication technologies. Sometimes, even breaking teeth doesn't hold them back from biting.
Frogless, 2019
HD video
This frog’s story began several years ago and several hundred kilometres from Berlin, in a zoological museum in Brno with outdated extinction warnings for its stuffed animals. Back then, multiplied in the space of the museum, this lurking frog had no idea that it would be requested years later in another city surrounded by lakes and, according to legend, built on a swamp that can be felt in the spirit of its people. While waiting to be spotted, this frog has yet to decide whether or not to multiply in this exhibition. But it doesn’t really matter to a digital memory caught up in an endless loop.
