Em Prole do Bebê (2000) each piece has a different shape, they are organic, almost amoeboid forms, called by Tunga “mondrongos”, strange beings. These individual and independent bodies have protuberances and cavities on their surface, which allude to sexuality.

Made of fiberglass, the pieces are covered in makeup, as a remnant and memory of the performance. Make Up Coincidence This action took place during the opening of this gallery in 2012. During the event, a naked couple applied makeup to the pieces while simultaneously applying the products to themselves.
