Weird Universe: Mouse Takes Photo of Its Own Death
Self-Portrait of a Suicide
A love of photography and a dislike of mice caused a London photographer to rig this trap that caused a mouse to take his own picture and his life at the same time. The trap was wired to the camera so that tripping of the trap mechanism also tripped the camera shutter. The killing spring is about to come down on the neck of the rodent here as its first nibble at the cheese sprung the trap.
En lille nyhedshistorie fra juli 1952. Sprogligt set er det misvisende med overskriftens ord om "selvmord", da dette begreb (også på Engelsk) indebærer hensigten om sin egen død; det er ikke nok selv at stå for den fatale handling, som her at udløse en musefælde. Reelt kan det siges at hensigten er det vigtigste, således at det kan kaldes selvmord selv uden at det er "for egen hånd".
