2000 year collaboration (The Prophet), 2018
An animatronic mouse partially visible emerging from a hole broken through the gallery wall. The mouse delivers a 9 minute monologue using the voice of the artist's 9 year old daughter, imparting a philosophical speech based on the final scene of The Great Dictator (1940) by Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin, rewritten from a post-simulacrum perspective.
Installation view: ‘The Irreplaceable Human’, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, 2023.
