'Hinterborough, or the autonomous municipality of Hinterborough, billed itself as 'a slice of provincial England off the coast of Australia' and that it was... for many.'

​

Hinterborough started as a work about the hubristic practices of orthodoxy and conservatism. Depicting an 'idealised' village burning due to its inept governance. Sadly, during the construction of this work it went from being a metaphorical piece to a much more literal one, in the wake of the devastating bushfires. Simultaneously, it went from being a humanitarian work about people having to work together to being an overtly political one.

​

Hinterborough was constructed by Michael Rostig between 2018-2020 and was submitted as an art piece at several art shows. This film was made to spread the message contained within the artwork and has been described as a 'captivating' and 'profound' piece of work.
