MOUSE
“’Alas’, said the mouse, ‘the world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid. I kept running and running, and I was glad when at last I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into.’ – ‘You only need to change your direction’, said the cat, and ate it up.”

MOUSE is a video projection that shows – enormously magnified and in extreme slow-motion – a mouse walking into a trap. The trap closes, the iron breaks the small body, the mouse dies. Because of the magnification of sound and movement the video becomes a mini-opera.
MOUSE is also part of the 'circuit performance' K, a Society (2010) and IN VOID (2016).
