Carlos Bunga’s interest in the performativity of architecture informed the temporary cardboard structure he built within Rafael Moneo’s Kursaal for Manifesta 5. This structure was imploded through a series of strategic cuts during the opening of the biennale. The remaining skin of the original edifice served as a marker of both interior and exterior.

For Manifesta 15 in Barcelona, Bunga created La irrupción de lo impredecible, which consists of a monumental painting that emanates light from the floor and a series of cocoons that hang from the ceiling.
