The One Lake Two Names art project was a long-distance walk – across contested land – with the aim of getting to the remotest place in Australia. It was undertaken on an ephemeral lake called: ‘Wilkinkarra’ the Aboriginal name, or ‘Lake Mackay’ the colonialised name. The lake is the fourth largest in Australia at 3,494 km², and is in one of the country’s most inaccessible places.
