"Redeye: A Diary" is a collection of works by New Zealand photographer Anne Shelton (1970-). Based in Auckland, Shelton is known as one of the leading figures in contemporary New Zealand photography, and her work traverses themes such as subculture, violence, gender, community, and mythology, moving back and forth between documentary and conceptual methods. This book is a representative series from her early period, a "diary" of youth culture in urban New Zealand from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, documented from within the community to which the artist herself belonged. Clubs, parties, rooms before dawn, intimate relationships, signs of intoxication and fatigue—the rough color photographs, often taken with flash, convey a fleeting exhilaration while simultaneously exuding an unsettling and lonely atmosphere. The title "Redeye" evokes the feeling of red-skinned eyes and sleepless nights, and seems to reflect the very physical sensations of young people living in the urban night. This book carries on the intimate photographic expression that began with Nan Goldin, while also capturing the unique sense of confinement and distance characteristic of New Zealand.
