Untitled, from the Marionettes series
Fictive or imaginary characters are recurring in the production of Tunga. In the work Untitled (2010), part of the Marionettes series, steel cables draw a human silhouette and compose a network, filled with big quartz crystals that give volume to this body.
The body of crystals is then suspended in the space by metal threads attached to a structure that recalls the one used for marionettes. It has a strategic placement close to natural light, since in contact with the crystals, the sun rays reaffirm their transparency, adding a ghostly aspect to the work.
