Some months ago I was having a late dinner in the studio kitchen of the sculpture school when I noticed a
small mouse making its way down the human-sized staircase. What struck me was that the place it came
from is the highest point of the ground floor, reachable only by a few steps that, from the outside, seem im-
possible for a mouse to overcome. Intrigued, I set up a night-vision camera in the days that followed and
scattered breadcrumbs as bait. The mouse returned, and the recordings revealed its remarkable climbing
abilities. I began constructing passages from cardboard tubes, enabling it to traverse the architectural barriers
of the school.
The exhibition translates this encounter into spatial terms. A translucent plastic film divides the room verti-
cally, transforming the entrance into a narrow passage that directs visitors along an altered route through the
architecture, echoing the pathways once traced by the mouse. Other elements extend this narrative across the
space, shifting the conditions and atmospheres of the Ping Pong basement, and presenting a site that draws
attention to the interplay of above and below, the seen and unseen.
