Christopher Ulutupu is a contemporary artist of Samoan, Niuean and German descent, working in video and photography. His works carry a unique cinematic visual language, honed throughout a career of working both as an artist and in stage design for theatre performances. They explore his indigenous identity and the representation of Pacific culture, myth and spirituality. Ulutupu often collaborates with family and friends, giving his works both a sense of ease and making them deeply personal.

His post Tylee residency exhibition, West, filmed in and around Whanganui during his time here in 2023, will show at Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery until February 2026.

The Sarjeant Gallery’s artist-in-residence programme is generously supported by Creative New Zealand.
