Manifesta 15 +info
As part of the cluster Imagining Futures, Carlos Bunga presented a site-specific at the Three Chimneys of Sant Adrià, which opened specifically for Manifesta. The industrial past of the Three Chimneys remains evident in the forms of air pollution, unsafe waters and an altered landscape – accelerants of contemporary ecological, social and political crises.
La irrupción de lo impredecible consists of a monumental painting that emanates light from the floor and a series of cocoons that hang from the ceiling. The work embodies two of the main themes of Bunga’s practice: metamorphosis and fragility, evoking the constant (geological) transformations that the planet has gone through while indicating a profound belief in processes of renewal. The only invariable is the inevitability of change and the prospect of the unknown.
