Description/Abstract:

A high-explosives factory occupied a vast site on the North Kent marshes, producing munitions for the British Army in World War One. It is now a nature reserve. Dargan uses the ‘animated form’ (Wells, 2007), to traverse space and time, investigating the specific nature of industrial production on this site, its advanced technology and the people that worked there and its national and global significance. A seven-minute animated film was displayed in the window of the Heritage Museum in Faversham, with the sound projected out into the street, to reach as many people as possible.
