The book "One Wall a Web" (2018) includes two photographic series made by Wolukau-Wanambwa in the USA—"Our Present Invention" (2012–2014) and "All My Gone Life" (2014–2017)—as well as an extensive essay and appropriated archival images. It "draws together poetry, critical writing, and photography to reflect on the ways that race, gender , and violence are woven into the fabric of (white) Western modernity. Set in America – with its history of injustice and its troubled present – One Wall a Web asks how documentary photography both participates in this complex play of forces, and suggests ways that we might find alternative pathways through it."
