Étant donnés (mini) is a response to Duchamp’s final work, Étant donnés: 1° la chute d'eau, 2° le gaz d'éclairage . . . (Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gas . . . ). The substitution of elements from Duchamp’s diorama with store-bought stand-ins is used to construct an all-over miniature version of Étant donnés, embedded in what is the miniature, or at least characteristically small, exhibition space of Disneyland Paris.
