Events 

In 2022, Marco Fusinato performed live in the Australia Pavilion for 200 days using an electric guitar as a signal generator into mass amplification to improvise slabs of noise, saturated feedback and discordant intensities that trigger a deluge of images. For DESASTRES, Fusinato used equipment associated with spectacle as a form of sculpture. The work was unique each day it was initiated and, as it unfolds, it radically transformed the physical experience of each audience member.  

Audiences unable to travel to Venice experienced part of the project via a public livestream on Saturday 23 April, and could follow the durational performance via the Instagram channel, @desastres_desastres, and the project’s website, where samples of Fusinato’s performance were released daily.
