Rebecca Orton
Coventriert
Rebecca Orton's documentary practice is influenced by her interest in history. Coventriert was inspired by her home town's destruction during the Blitz, changing the medieval city of Coventry into a concrete jungle. This work combines extracts from J.B. Shelton's book, A Night in Little Park Street with Orton's own photographs. The text gives a first-hand account of Shelton's experience on the 14th/15th November 1940, Coventry's most famous night. This highly descriptive text dramatically contrasts the quiet and simplistic photographs it is paired with. Each photograph is of a place in Coventry, either an area targeted by the Luftwaffe or an area that has played a large role in people's memory of the Coventry Blitz. These two components come together to create a cohesive narrative depicting Coventry's past and present as one.
