Editor: Manuel Guerrero Brullet

Bunga’s artist book is a limited multiple edition piece that becomes unique and different in each of its copies like an original work. It becomes a game of variable geometry and at the same time a work of art that transforms every time the viewer, actor or reader, opens it and changes it.

Two elements can be found: book and frame-container.

The 576 pages are accompanied by 12 dies of geometric shapes. Interspersed on the pages, there are also 9 sheets of colors - from the author's palette - which intersect with the geometries to deliver a color to the void of each shape and are completely interchangeable, meaning that the work can present different readings.

And to achieve a formal and conceptual unity, there’s a booklet with texts by Carlos Bunga, Manuel Guerrero and Paulo Miyada.

To contain it all, the book comes in a box: a hand-painted wooden pencil case. As a lid, there’s a sliding blade made of glass.

The print run is 65 copies signed and numbered by the artist.

Size: 50 x 35.5 x 11 cm.
