ABYSSAL INTIMACY: MICE OPERA, 2026
single-channel 4K video, 13 min


Abyssal Intimacy: Mice Opera brings together CCTV footage from wildlife reserve livestreams, a neuroscientist’s account of preclinical animal testing, and a score composed from the ultrasonic vocalisations of mice. Through these opposing sites of intervention, a nuanced conversation about care, conservation, and extraction is possible. The inclusion of sounds ordinarily beyond human perception draws attention to what remains unheard, overlooked, or rendered invisible in our human-centric sense of reality. The work lingers in the tensions between kinship and hierarchy, care and extraction, intimacy and surveillance.
