Oliver Kahn
<p><em>Oliver Kahn</em> is a 55 minute video which is decidedly a piece about Leeds United, Johan Cruyff and Bayern Munich, but done through a lens more inspired by Samuel Beckett than Franz Beckenbauer. In fact, the piece can be viewed as a misbegotten adaptation of Beckett’s Krapp’s <em>Last Tape</em>, with old soccer matches replacing the collected audio diaries of the character. We witness the way the protagonist thinks his life through these soccer matches, Hollywood movies and “personal” rêverie.</p> <p>The book?</p> <p>It’s an afterthought.</p>
