Bárbara Wagner (Brasília, 1980) and Benjamin de Burca (Munich, 1975) have worked together since 2011, making video installations that explore subcultures, music scenes and collective identity. Their method is radically collaborative: script, choreography and soundtrack are developed together with the communities they portray. The duo gained international recognition with Swinguerra, representing Brazil at the 2019 Venice Biennale. Their work is held in major collections including MoMA New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and De Pont Museum in Tilburg.
From 20 September 2026, the De Pont Museum in Tilburg will show the newly acquired film Future of Yesterday (2026), together with two earlier works from its own collection.
From 29 January to 26 April 2026, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt presented the duo's first major solo exhibition in Germany, with the new production Future of Yesterday as the focal point.
The work Future of Yesterday (2026) was acquired by the De Pont Museum for the permanent collection.
In 2025, solo presentations were shown at LeCentquatre in Paris and the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo.
The film One Hundred Steps (2020) won the Golden Lola for best short film at the Deutsche Kurzfilmpreis 2021.
