Green Mouse is a short film in which the artist performs the role of a passive hotel cleaner, calmly continuing his routine after a young girl is killed by an explosion inside a five-star hotel. He clears the remains with professional detachment, treating the violence as part of an ordinary working day.
The work adapts the dark undertones of the French children’s song “Une Souris Verte” to reflect on the quiet brutality embedded in everyday life—where extreme events are absorbed into routine, and shock gives way to normalization.
