In modern philosophy the difference between work and product lies on the process of creation of the object. Whereas a work is unique and irreplaceable, a product can be created exactly through the repetition of acts and gestures. French writer Henri Lefebvre in The Production of Space argues that in the contemporary stage, society not only produces objects but it also produces space.
The body of work Nummo explores sites connected to energy production. It investigates what lies beneath the visible surface of power stations, nuclear plants and incinerators.Through the creation of masks made with found materials Nummo explores the merging of energy production sites with the surrounding natural landscape, driven by the fascinating notion that these sites exploit the natural energy produced by nature to create artificial energy to be consumed.
Nummo opposes artificial with ancestral, man-altered with natural, creating an intervention on both landscape and subject through the presence of hand-crafted unearthly masks.
