Interview with Lampo Leong at Friday 1st of May 2020 FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design? LL: Behind Glory is a photographic documentary of Wugang, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Company. Supported by the Russian and built in 1958, the state-owned Wugang is one of the biggest and most important steel factories in China and once signifying the industrialization and modernization of the country. Through reformation and recent merger with Bao Steel Group, China Baowu Steel Group brings about the second largest steel production in the world. However, such industry causes severe environmental pollution to the city of Wuhan and the surrounding areas. Through capturing the heavily polluted and decaying factory campus with abstract, lyrical and somewhat somber images, this community project reveals the price paid and the consequence behind the glory of modernization and economic prosperity in China, provoking the viewers into the search of a clean and healthy working and living environment. FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself? LL: I hope the design could be exhibited internationally. FS: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project? LL: Digital photography. FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design? LL: Abstract quality and the spirit.
