About the work

Carlos Bunga has created two silkscreen and paper collage works to accompany his Whitechapel Gallery exhibition, Carlos Bunga: Something Necessary and Useful (21 January – 6 September 2020).

These two editions are a continuation of Bunga’s ongoing series of drawings and works on paper titled ‘Nomads' which portray hybrid figures carrying architecture in the place of their heads.

Bunga’s work shifts between the architectural spaces of house and city and a more personal psychic space. His evolving installations of everyday and domestic materials explore how we experience and necessarily coexist with the built environment.

For Bunga architecture has the ability to influence and mould us to believe in utopias, where a fictional reality seems possible. This ecosystem produced between people and buildings is one where we are constantly left learning to adapt to the transitory. Bunga reflects on the nature of living in more than one place, of travelling back and forth. He says "our society is a nomadic space. I feel I´m nomadic too."

About the artist

Carlos Bunga (b. 1976 Porto) attended the Escola Superior de Arte e Design in Caldas da Rainha in Portugal. He currently lives and works near Barcelona.

Bunga creates site-specific installations using mass-produced materials such as cardboard, adhesive tape, and household paint. Responding to their settings, these ephemeral structures recall theatre sets, architectural models, as well as temporary shelters. Through his work, Bunga invites the viewers to rethink their experience of painting, objects and architecture. By giving equal importance to the creation, movement and destruction of the work, he also evokes the transient and fragile nature of urban structures, and the traces of his works bring to mind dispossession and the symbolic potential of ruins.

Easy assemble and not to big!
Color: Black, Size: 132in-Large Metal Base
I bought this because I fo a lot of zoom/teams meetings and work just mandated no false backgrounds (don’t ask) soooo to hide my real home and allow others to roam free while I work I got this. Easy to assemble although you will need some space. I thought I might be to big at 11’ wide as I have a small desk area but actually it’s perfect and could use a couple more panels. Leaves just enough room so I’m not completely cocooned - I can move my chair and get up walk behind chair and exit space. Great deal and tax deductible!

Fair Quality, Hour and a half build
Color: Black, Size: 132in-Large Metal Base
Key things: It does (more or less, not completely) fold in on itself, it does block nearly all visibility (especially from an angle), it was only about an hour and thirty minutes to put together, and it is light weight. Do I recommend? Yeah.

Assembly was a bit rough
Color: Black, Size: 132in-Large Metal Base
It is serving the purpose it is bought for. However the assembly was harder than it should have been. Joining the parts A and B (two iron pipes) was very hard. We can't use any tools to do that and it has to be done manually and every joint was very tight and very hard to to do. I had to struggle to make 24 joints for the length I need. At one point I was going to return it, but I needed it very badly so continued with the assembly.
