Accompanied by the publication
and the text
"Shelton’s photographs are cognisant of the ambiguity of temporality and perception. The deliberate focus on the ‘polarities’ of truth and fiction brings the ambiguity of the difference between the two into focus. Shelton’s front on documentary style of photography has the authority of truth and many of her photographs are of places that have seen real events, often of historic importance. However, the true location of the past action often remains unconfirmed. Shelton relies on the uncertain reflection of memory, recognising that our precarious hold on the past often denies us full understanding of what took place."
