The Colony Vienne

The Colony VienneThe Colony is a book about books, and what happens when their authority is quietly and actively undone. Liss Fenwicks project enlists an unlikely team of co authors: a termite colony living beneath their childhood home. Gathering books inherited from schoolrooms and family shelves texts steeped in frontier myths, one sided histories, and the erasure of First Nations cultures Fenwick fed the selection to the termites and then photographed the remains:
