La Fura dels Baus (1979–1989)

While pursuing his studies in fine arts in the University of Barcelona, Marcel•li Antunez co-founded the collective La Fura dels Baus with Carles Padrissa, Pere Tantinya, Quico Palomar, and Teresa Puig. He was part of the collective from 1979 until 1989 as a performer, musician and artistic coordinator in the first three performances of the group: the trilogy Accions (1984), Suz /o /Suz (1985) and Tier Mon (1988).

Los Rinos (1985–1992)

With Sergi Caballero and Pau Nubiola, he founded the group Los Rinos, initially focusing on graffiti. Later, his activity extended to painting, video action performance, the concert and wall installation, such as Rinodigestio (1987), a system of interconnected wooden and glass boxes containing decaying organic matter.

Solo career (1992- present)

Since 1992, Marcel•li Antunez has developed a series of works in various formats exploring biology, technology, society, and culture. Using drawing and painting as the basis of his work, he used techniques such as interactive sculpture of both organic and artificial materials, growing microorganisms, and interative performance art incorporating cinematic elements such as animation, as well as multiple projection screens and sound systems.
