Mouse Palace

For Mouse Palace a real apartment was rebuilt as a 1:10 scale model from edible materials for the use of mice. The rodents had hardly arrived when they began nibbling away at their lodgings. The hallmark of Harald Hund and Paul Horn´s films ist he gleeful, ironical way they reduce our ideas of space and our notions of normalcy to absurdity. (Genoveva Rückert)

Mouse Palace is the most recent project in our Living Space series which includes Tomatoheads, Dropping Furniture and the still unfinished Apnea. The whole series portrays human existence in absurd conditions. In Mouse Palace, it is mice who take the place of men. (H.H. & P.H.)
