Working with films, photography, sculptures, and books, artist Mungo Thomson makes art that reflects mass culture. His work expresses an interest in the obvious because what is obvious is often overlooked and actually mysterious. He explores assumptions, backgrounds, and contexts, seeking to expose the importance of what lies behind the action.
