Escola Superior de Artes e Design de Caldas da Rainha

Caldas Late Night is a cultural and artistic event organized by students of the Superior School of Arts and Design of Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, where everyone is invited to show their work and projects on the streets of the city and in their homes.

At the school’s student residence where he was staying, Bunga showed a site-specific construction out of cardboard, tape and paint that the audience could walk into. As what would later become a recurring performative action accompanying many of his building-like installations, he destroyed his artwork.
