Der kleinere Raum | La stanza più piccola

Cristóbal León, Nina Wehrle

In a room there is a box. In the box there is a forest. In the forest there is a lost child. Living beings made of paper appear and disappear. What is normally addressed as a natural opening environment in Der kleinere Raum becomes a claustrophobic place.
