Surveilling a Crime Scene - offset print
The moments held in this small book are collated from Surveilling a Crime Scene, a film that examines the materialisation of non-indigenous life on Miriwoong Country. These threads forge a tapestry that recognises ccolonisation not as history but as a continuous and present violence, one that is deceptively ordinary.
The book feautres an essay by novellist and critic Fiona Kelly McGregor.
