maintaining the ethos of manifestos from their previous performances, and pushing their aversion to rehearsing and repetition to new extremes, bonneville crafted estudo para um manifesto (study for a manifesto) – a two-hour performance in an old ruin where all actions were improvised. these improvisations were rooted in the concept of the “young artist” – a term applied to bonneville by others during that period, though its implications were never fully grasped. bonneville didn’t really understand if it was meant to be a compliment or a way to undermine their work. due to a lack of awareness from the festival organizers that the performance had begun, only the videographer and a companion were present to witness it.
