(2009-2010)
In 2009 I was commissioned to create a new body or artwork by Ffotogallery, National Development Agency for Photography responding to Humphrey Jennings’ film The Silent Village (1943). A Ministry of Information docu-drama which relocates in the South Wales village of Cwmgiedd the obliteration of the Czech village Lidice and the murder of its citizens. This was a reprisal for the assassination of the high ranking Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich, Reichsprotektorof Bohemia & Moravia.
The resulting work of large scale b&w images and film is entitled Everday and seeks to connect with Jennings’ film and its narrative through photographing the space, contents and atmosphere of my family home. Which is located in a similar coal mining community as those of Cwngiedd and Lidice. The house becomes a porthole and a source of connectedness of generational memory, historical evocation and remembrances.
