In Ten Eighty, Matt Dunne focuses on the history and plight of the Dingo - Australia's wolf. Since the arrival of white people, the Dingo has been on of the most persecuted animals in Australia - the target of shooting, trapping, poisoning, myth-making and scorn. To this day, governments in Australia seek to eradicate the animal completely.
Through Ten Eighty, Dunne draws connections between commerce, ecology, violence, colonialisation and seeks to make the widespread war on the animal visible.
