Colección MACBA. Preludio. Intención poética
At MACBA Barcelona, Bunga presented the installation Animismo. Tables, sideboards and other elements recovered from flea markets are given a new lease of life, in which they merge with the Museum building through interventions with cardboard panels and adhesive tape, ephemeral elements that configure their own unique language.. Reusing furniture as a reflection on the life we bestow on inanimate objects, a new animism that, in this case, inhabits a museum space.
