This project was made over eighteen months spent photographing the perimeters of working factories across four countries. I was interested in the edges of industrial sites — the fences, gates, loading bays, and access roads — and the rhythms of arrival and departure that organise the working day. The images were made early in the morning, at shift change, and late at night, attending to the moments when the sites were most alive with movement. The work resists the nostalgia that often attaches to images of industry, and instead documents the present tense of these places: still active, still employing, still shaping the surrounding landscape and the lives that move through it. The exhibition includes photographs, a sound piece composed from recordings made at the gates, and a printed gazetteer of the sites visited.
