The Absence of Alice and the Things that Open their Wings and are Otherwise not Noticeable, the fourth iteration in The Absence of Alice series, exhibited at the Queensland Academy of Creative Industries in 2010, served as both an extension and reworking of previous themes. Key pieces from earlier exhibitions, like Hybrid Insects and A Shrine for Algernon, were revisited, with added elements that deepened their commentary on life, death, and consumption.

New works, such as For Alice: Skins and Bones to Hold our Living Nonsense Together, explored the arbitrary nature of classification and the overwhelming complexity of Alice's Saos-2 cells when considered from an entangled point of view. Additionally, the exhibition adopted museum-style display strategies, evident in A Cabinet for Present and Imagined Futures, which engaged with the negative outcomes of progress based on economic gain. The upper level of the exhibition introduced works like Imaginary Bodies, addressing how bodies become inscribed by environmental interactions, linking inscription, and patterns of becoming. This layered display method aimed to bridge art with museum objects, illustrating diverse ways we interpret the world.
