Noise and silence, underground and institution, maximalism and minimalism: for three decades Marco Fusinato has worked across his noise guitar performances, installations, and appropriated musical scores. Interrogating moments of extremity, whether political or musical, Fusinato represented Australia in the 2022 Venice Biennale with DESASTRES, a guitar and image-based performance by the artist every day of La Biennale Arte 2022—200 days in total.

Bringing together swathes of art-historical and cultural references DESASTRES was both a conceptual and body-focused performance.
