Carlos Bonet is a multidisciplinary artist working across audiovisual and pictorial media, with a parallel focus on cultural mediation. He holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Polytechnic University of Valencia and has studied Cultural Heritage Management at the Faculty of History. He has contributed to spaces like EACC (Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castelló) and is co-founder of the assembly-based contemporary art space CÚMUL.

His work investigates the relationship between power and pleasure within capitalist structures and often includes cultural phenomena such as techno and punk.

At GlogauAIR, Bonet is developing When We Were The Five; a (self-) fictional project rooted in a photograph taken at the Pirámide nightclub in 2009, just before its closure in the aftermath of the 2008 economic crisis. The image, nostalgic and almost ghostly, becomes a symbol of a generation on the edge of a cultural and economic shift. Drawing inspiration from Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five, Bonet contrasts mid- century ideals of youth, with the realities of adolescence shaped by the hedonism and collapse of late capitalism.

In early 2025, the artist returned to the nightclub—now abandoned—to document what remains there. Based on this experience and through an installation that combines painting, photography, video, and some intervened objects, the artist shows us the reconstruction of some fragments that narrate the events of a specific territory.
