Over twenty years Liss Fenwick has photographed the Larrakia Country on which their family lives, addressing the inevitable failures of settling stolen land. Fenwick grew up in a rural district on the tropical fringe of the Northern Territory, at Humpty Doo, and returns to make pictures of the next generation of the family growing up there — darkly humorous and intimate, with the surrounding savannah always present, and engaging with what it means to represent what will always be Larrakia land.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
