'In the Daytime I Am, In the Night Time I Am: Three Spectacles About Menial Work' by Brian Fuata
A live, interractive, non-sequential, anti-spectacle about the many hours between our work, dreams and death. Performed and experienced in three parts: 'From Woy Woy to Infinity', 'We Don't Need Another Hero ' and 'An Artists Biography'

Biography
Brian Fuata’s performance pieces have explored ideas surrounding identity, ethnography and migration through the vernacular of a historical and anthropological discourse. He frames the contemporary co modification of identity, by highlighting how it can be anonymous, temporary and disposable. His performances implicate the viewer in a colonial gaze, a didactical position of personal encounter mixed with modes of objectification that exert power and sociological impetus such as exoticism. While enunciating that the construction and representation of identity is always a political act, his work speaks of the reality of an embodied, eternalised gaze through a lived and experienced portrait.
