CARLOS BUNGA

CARLOS BUNGA

Carlos Bunga is a nomad. He creates process-oriented works in various formats — sculptures, paintings, drawings, performances, video, and above all in-situ installations that refer to and intervene in their immediate architectural surroundings. Over the past two decades, the Portuguese, Barcelona-based artist has traversed the world, erecting colossal yet intimate structures that he has named Ruin (2008), Landscape (2011), Mausoleum (2012), Agora (2013), Chapel (2015) and most recently, Cathedral (2019). Engineered with cardboard, adhesive tape and household paint, Bunga’s constructions are improvisational and temporary. Once realized, they recall human-scale architectural models, temporary street shelters and modern ruins. Emerging from an invitation to respond to existing architecture, each of his projects provides a singular experience, in which alternative spaces make room for new possibilities. Although each of his projects is distinct and fleeting, they are sustained by the artist’s bodily practice and the memories of those who experience them.
