The Pitcairn Islands are Britain's last Overseas Territory in the Pacific Ocean. Pitcairn Island itself is the only inhabited island in the group, and though it is diminutive in both size and population, it has garnered widespread interest for the last two centuries. Settled in the late eighteenth century by a group of fugitives—those responsible for the most famous mutiny in history aboard HMS Bounty, led by Fletcher Christian—the descendants of these mutineers and their Tahitian captives still populate the island today. For many outside observers, trusting in Hollywood's romanticised adaptations of the Bounty story, Pitcairn epitomises Utopia. In the early twenty-tens, however, this façade slipped, when a series of child sexual abuse allegations emerged. The British investigation, Operation Unique, uncovered decades of abuse that had been festering in plain sight. The Pitcairn trials led to the convictions of eight Pitcairn men, including several former island officials and the then-mayor Steve Christian, whose home, Big Fence, forms the title of this project. Rhiannon Adam, inspired by a childhood gift of The Mutiny on The Bounty and a desire to capture the island's fragility on expiring analogue film, made the long journey to Pitcairn Island; due to the quarterly shipping schedule, she remained trapped on the island for ninety-six nights. Designed to be as impenetrable and complex as the island itself, the book is comprised of two parts: Adam's own experience of the island as related through her captions and personal stories, and a volume of photographs and related archive.
