註釋"In a forest addresses the shifting symbolic status of a particularly charged group of trees. Presented to the one hundred and thirty gold medalists at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin, the seedlings were conceived as a gift from the German people and presented by members of the Olympic Committee and reportedly, in one instance, by Hitler himself. Of the one hundred and thirty gifted seedlings, many are no longer locatable, however one, now an adult oak tree, grows in the artist's hometown of Timaru, New Zealand, in the grounds of Timaru Boys' High School. First photographed in early 2005, this tree has become the centrepiece of Shelton's enquiry, which forms a kind of map or incomplete archive and charts a link between the oaks and National Socialism's brutal history."--Publisher's description.
