Matt Dunne, The Killing Sink, 2022

The Killing Sink is a project that examines the ongoing deliberate killing of Wedge-Tailed Eagles. Inspired by the trial of John Auer and Murray James Silvester, who killed over 400 eagles between 2015 and 2017, the work examines the landscapes, victims and tools of destruction. The project is part true crime, part public grieving and seeks to examine the true story of murder as a way to ask us why can’t we compromise?
