Tiny Apocalypse<\/h1>\n\t\t

Tiny Apocalypse<\/em> follows the rise and fall of Rita<\/strong>, an obsessively organized office worker who finds herself caught in a daily repetitive loop. Within the narrow, grey hallways of the Company<\/strong>, an institutional landscape of mindlessly humming photocopiers, she is normally as regular in her body as she is at her work. \u00a0Then one day, whilst standing by the photocopier, something happens: an extraordinarily tiny event, which causes her carefully ordered world to spiral wildly out of control.<\/p>\n

Darkly comic and playfully irreverent, Tiny Apocalypse<\/i> scrutinizes the surreal banalities and submerged hysteria of office life in a world shaped and monitored by surveillance<\/span><\/p>\n
