Carlos Bunga?s sculptural and painterly structures propose architecture as body and mindscape. Using only cardboard and paint, Bunga fantastical
buildings, furniture-like sculptures and paintings as immersive environments. His works combine a powerful materiality with the evocation of psychic states. This book surveys his actions and performances; and documents over a decade of installations including major new works created for his survey exhibition at MAAT and Carmona e Costa Foundation in Lisbon. Enacting cycles of construction and destruction, Bunga explores states of dispossession and nomadism; the nature of spatial experience; and the creative and symbolic potential of ruin.
I am interested in the temporal, emotional and intuitive aspects of space; and whether the imposing character of architecture may exist as experimentation? I try to maintain a physical and mental relationship with space as it is wrapped in its history? The contradictory nature of permanence and impermanence is a relation that exists in the work and is part of its structure. Carlos Bunga
