FFION LLOYD-JONES
Ffion Lloyd-Jones’ series ‘Steeling Port Talbot’, is a conceptual documentary project around a steel works that is obscured from within the landscape. Port Talbot, a town in South Wales, was made during the development of the Steel Works, and without it the town wouldn’t exist today. Providing over 4,000 jobs, the works play a huge role in the lives of the people that live within the town today.
This series looks into how they have become a huge part of the town’s landscape, and how the people within the community often overlook how much it has entrapped the landscape.
The images perceive how the town and community get on with life, and it is now part of their daily landscape, without much thought into it. The steel works has now become an integral part of the community, as without it there would be a high unemployment in the town.
