Pickering's body of work, DOWN TO EARTH was a series of black and white photographs taken in Cardiff to consider the encounters with time and place as mediated by museums, tourism and the heritage sector. Each photograph concentrates on stories and associated objects and their forms of presentation, and how their real, imaginary and symbolic values might be distilled in a fragment. Pickering offers a strange encounter with the official narratives associated with place and history where order is quietly disturbed through the seemingly benign and matter of fact representation of reality through photography. For Pickering, museum spectacle and tourism are visually connected with the theatre of commerce. A sense of time travel and other shifts in temporal relations, run through these images whose direct, evidential approach echoes the functionality of museum record photography. Down to Earth offers enigmatic glimpses into stories associated with Wales, stories that in their museum form draw on simulation and illusion. When translated through photography, a different line of questioning is introduced - an insect trap or hand-painted street scene is equally intriguing as a sample of moon dust.
The Publication was never distributed as funding cutbacks closed the commissioning organisation before it was completed.
“Photofusion is an important and vital creative hub and centre of photography in London. I've attended some great courses there over the years and Photofusion even hosted my student's exhibitions in the 1990's when I taught BTEC at a further education college in Battersea. Photofusion is unwaivering in it's support for photography and creativity. I feel that it is crucial to support Photofusion in return to sustain it's existence at a point when state schools are teaching less art, the government is failing to invest adequately in creative industries and and visitor numbers to museums and galleries are falling.” -Sarah Pickering
