Within a remote coastal landscape, generations-old skills and traditional beliefs flourish. All work is manual. The pace steady. Tools hand-made from the hedgerows. Boats rowed, not powered. The language poetic. And mussel beds are washed fresh by the tides.
But this environment, which looks marginal, is in fact central. Pairing haunting documentary images with oral history and contemporary commentary, Behind The Screens shines a light on the economic processes that underlie every aspect of our lives. Even in the most unexpected places.
An unsentimental and beautifully produced photographic study that shows how work and landscape are shaped by forces usually left unseen. This book asks us to slow down and look carefully, uncovering the structures of work and landscape that shape everyday life.
