Drawing on the filmmaker’s real-life experiences growing up in a large Sāmoan family in the largely Pākehā populated region of Nelson, Hidden Amongst Clouds newly imagines stories of Sāmoan mythology and questions the moral virtues that they uphold. The work embraces a 1990’s aesthetic, harking back to supernatural fantasy television series and their embedded symbolisms, reflecting Ulutupu’s ongoing interest in themes of belonging and the importance of recontextualising and reimagining narratives of colonial stereotypes.

A REAR WINDOW PROJECT Organised into seven chapters, this film playfully explores the complexities and perceptions of intercultural dating. As a Samoan New Zealander, Christopher Ulutupu is interested in exploring the concept of a ‘hyphen-space’ as a performative form of identity politics. The intercultural hyphen as a relational concept or model, can be ‘likened to a gap or a bridge between ethnic groups’, and it can also be paradoxical in nature in that it can be read from both sides of cultural connection and division.

See AlsoPaul Chowdhry Red Carpet 2023To dream is to envision a better future, a conscious reimagining of freedom while in reality, we are surrounded by structures of oppression. As colonised people of the Pacific, we share an affinity with struggle even in a seemingly “postcolonial” world. The conditions of our growth continue to be dependent on the environment in which we are raised, and in most cases, the privileges we are not afforded. It is apparent that in order to reframe our identity, we must imagine beyond our own physical boundaries—we must continue to dream.

'Tulisi' by Christopher Ulutupu, curated by David Broker Christopher Ulutupu says, “Postcolonialism is not a subject I have chosen to explore, rather, it is a reality that I have been born into. As a Samoan New Zealander I find myself automatically designated the position of ‘other’, and my image perpetually projected through the lens of the dominant culture.” Using his formidable skills as a video artist and set designer Ulutupu’s work attempts to negotiate space between cultures that avoids the exotic stereotypes attributed to the descendants of migrants from across Oceania. Tulisi or tourist, is the story of a visitor to the country he was born and raised in. Ulutupu’s perceptive, poignant and amusing digital video works challenge the romantic misconceptions that have developed around Pacific cultures, ironically, as a way of integrating them into New Zealand’s cultural landscape.

Originally shown at The Physics Room in 2018, this work combines three films, Into The Arms Of My Coloniser (2016), Do You Still Need Me? (2017) and Lelia (2018). “Viewing how these ‘exotic landscapes’ that had once transfixed the Edwardian imagination were re-populated, transformed, re-aligned, we ourselves started to feel nuzzled, anonymous, invisible. … You couldn’t help but admire the meticulous composition, and listening to the singers’ enjoyment was infectious – the work was a joy. The effect was a feat: charged, scary, beautiful, unflinching.” (Thomas Capogreco, Fine Print) The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker, so join in on the discussion! A Room in Time is the Gallery’s occasional screening programme curated by Martin Sagadin that aims to bring interesting Aotearoa-made feature-length films to keen cinephiles. Christopher Ulutupu is an artist of Samoan/Niuean/German descent currently residing in Wellington. He recently completed his MFA at Massey University, Wellington and has a Bachelor of Performance Design (Hons) from Massey University and Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School. Ulutupu has a background in art direction and set design. Ulutupu mounted solo exhibitions at Enjoy in Wellington in 2019, and at play_station in Wellington in 2018, and participated in SCAPE 2018 and the inaugural Hobart Biennale in 2017.
