The artist Mirko Baselgia is interested in animal architecture. For this work he had marmot burrows filled with cement, dug out and then cast in bronze in a foundry in Naples. The branching scurfy form of the raw cast with its earthy patina is now spanned at a right angle between two walls. Above our heads we can see something that is otherwise invisible, almost unimaginable: the outside of a cave. The title Endoderm refers to an inner skin layer, an embryotic primal mass from which the organs are formed. Mirko Baselgia was born in Lantsch/Lenz in 1982. He trained at the Kunsthochschule in Zurich, first as an architect, then as an artist.
