A tiny animal who lives in a solitary reign and whose presence is only proven by little mounds of loose soil, evidence of an invisible underground world. The artist leaves us with an open question: is it a miniature mountain deformed by the mole or perhaps a heap where one can rest for a moment?
As for all of Mumm’s research, this work starts from a very personal imagery, which does not give rise to preconceived interpretations but opens up a new vision in the realm between figuration and abstraction and emphasizes its narrative quality.
