It started with a tiny mouse quarter in a basement window in Malmö in December 2016, with a nut shop and an Italian restaurant in mouse format side by side. Now the circle is closed when the work has been placed again in a street corner in Malmö, reports Sydsvenskan.

The creators have called themselves Anonymouse and their identity has been kept secret throughout the years of mouse surprises in and outside Malmö. Now Elin Westerholm and Lupus Nensén, who otherwise work with graphics and props for film and TV series, tell how the project grew and how the puzzle pieces fell into place during a trip to Paris in 2016.

We sat in Montmartre and talked about all the fun houses and art nouveau. There was something about the magic there that we wanted to bring home, says Elin Westerholm to the newspaper.

The artworks have been manufactured in a secret workshop and placed at night in different locations.

It feels a bit nice to finish, says Lupus Nensén.
