“Christopher Ulutupu’s video/performance art practice explores ongoing themes around landscape, photography, and the construction of colonial narratives. Responding to early 1900’s landscape photography and ‘postcard’ tourism, his earlier work has looked at depictions of Pacific brown people, disseminated throughout the western world. His practice seeks to re-contextualise these stereotypes and re-imagine them through video and performance, offering new ways of exploring the effects of colonisation and diaspora.” - Heather Galbraith, 2018
Shot in Wellington, yet influenced by a recent trip to China, these two new video works, Be Happy - Be Still, explore communal exchanges, propaganda and the way images and videos are constructed.
