Working Together: A Parliament of Fog

A Parliament of Fog is the latest iteration of "Working Together", a slow-burning publishing project that explores relationships and proximity through the lens of artistic practice, following a politics of interconnection. For more than a decade, fog has rematerialised throughout the work of lawyer-turned-artist Layne Waerea. Her public interventions and performances explore what she describes as "legal-social subjectivities," centering the implications of Te Tiriti o Waitangi as Aotearoa New Zealands only living treaty with Mori. For Waerea, the act of chasing fog pursues a physical or ideological space where borders can be tested-"a fertile area where there are lots of question marks"-and where imagination, hope, participation, and failure can be explored.
