The blank sheet — generally understood as a house of ambivalence and absence — is a recurring motif and allegorical image, manifesting in distinctive contexts that incorporate email messages, paper, SMS, concrete, movie and, in the scenario of his 20-minute are living performances, a blank mattress sheet. In these ‘ghost’ performances, Fuata re-contextualises the actual physical house of the gallery into a going phase of subjectivity and persona.

For APT10, Fuata provides a new trilogy of ‘post-improvisation’ movies, documenting 3 performances designed in response to the learning directives of the ‘Open Studio’ place at the Queensland Artwork Gallery (QAG). These performances connect a personalized historical past of inventive inspiration with selected works and tactics encountered inside the Gallery’s collections and archives and as a result of the artist’s extended oeuvre.
