Mungo Thomson is a conceptual artist who revisits everyday objects in unexpected ways. His work explores the intersection of memory and immediacy, history and self-awareness, prompting viewers to consider how contemporary culture shapes — and is shaped by — its relationship to the past. The clearest example is his TIME series: oversized, mirrored replicas of TIME magazine covers. By simultaneously highlighting the viewer’s presence while framing it within iconic narratives that have shaped public consciousness for over a century, Thomson blurs the boundaries between art, history, and the lived experience of time.
