Marko Mäetamm has created a chaotic playground that sits beside Swansea’s brand new, well-organised leisure centre, The LC. The inspiration from Mäetamm’s project stems from his perception of the city undergoing a re-organisation and bringing new attractions and activities for its inhabitants. He also was also drawn to the lively nightlife of the city, and the vibrant and chaotic nature of a night out in Swansea’s drinking quarter.
This artwork combines the colourful, chaotic character of Swansea with its reinvention as a city of leisure. The LC provides a fitting backdrop to his playground of nightmares. Caged behind a steel fence, the playground appears sinister and apocalyptic.

Mae Marko Mäetamm wedi creu ardal chwarae anhrefnus ger canolfan hamdden newydd sbon a threfnus Abertawe, LC. Mae’r ysbrydoliaeth ar gyfer prosiect Mäetamm yn deillio o’i ganfyddiad o’r ddinas sy’n cael ei had-drefnu ac yn cyflwyno atyniadau newydd a gweithgareddau ar gyfer ei thrigolion. Cafodd ei ddenu hefyd i fywyd nos bywiog y ddinas, a natur anhrefnus a llawn bywyd noson yn ardal yfed Abertawe.
Mae’r gwaith celf yn cyfuno cymeriad lliwgar, anhrefnus Abertawe a’i ailgreu yn ddinas hamdden. Mae LC yn darparu cefndir addas i’r ardal chwarae hon sy’n llawn hunllefau. Mae’r ardal chwarae yn ymddangos yn sinistr ac yn apocalyptaidd y tu ôl i ffens dur.
