Mumuko is a Japanese visual artist born in China. She left her homeland in search of freedom and has since lived as a nomadic artist, carrying her entire life in a single suitcase. Having traveled to over 60 countries across South America, Europe, and Asia, she continues to explore new frontiers in photography, video, installation, and spatial experience—turning suffering and cruelty into striking artistic expression.

Inspired by her favorite artists, Francis Bacon and Picasso, Mumuko seeks to capture visions that only those who reach great heights can see.

Her work has earned numerous Japanese and international awards, along with solo exhibitions in London, New York, Beijing, Tokyo, and other major cities. Recently, she published a photobook in Japan, which was exhibited at Paris Photo Fair. Widely regarded as a rising force in Japanese photography, she is seen as a rare talent who will shape the next generation of the medium.
