Liss Fenwick: Humpty Doom

Spanning 20 years, Liss photographs the Larrakia Country on which their family lives, addressing the inevitable failures of settling stolen land.

‘I grew up in a rural district on the tropical fringe of the “northern territory”, Humpty Doo. Haunted by pictures I took as a teenager (some included in the book) I make photographs of the next generation of my family growing up in this place.’ — Liss Fenwick

Darkly humorous and intimate, with the surrounding savannah environment, Humpty Doom engages with what it means to represent what will always be Larrakia land.
