In The Nameless Hour of the Night

Collaborator: Deer Mouse (Peromyscus)


In The Nameless Hour of the Night follows the nighttime movements of a group of deer mice that lived in the artist’s kitchen between 2020 and 2021. Filmed using a motion-activated camera, it captures brief moments of the mice exploring, escaping, and engaging in swift encounters with other inhabitants of the domestic ecosystem.

In tune with the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the piece shifts our focus to the small and often overlooked worlds that exist alongside us in our homes. By showing the mice as curious and active participants in a shared space, the work encourages us to notice different ways of living and being. It gently reminds us of the many forms of life—each with its own constellation of bodies, whiskers, feelers, and ways of sensing—that animate our surroundings every day.
