A Sensitive Build

Landscape of mouse trap sculptures: a tower, a dragon, a kind of rollercoaster, triangles

Over the course of 3 to 8 hours, a landscape of mousetraps sculptures is built out of more than 2500 traps. Just like a zen garden practice, this landscape grows over time with patience, care and is different with every performance. A timelapse camera films this meditative sculpting practice so that the whole growing journey can be rewatched in a video of 2-3 min.
