Shelly Silver

Shelly Silver is a media artist, organizer and educator, based in New York.

'In Shelly Silver's enigmatic narratives of contemporary identity, truth and fiction are constantly in doubt and the modes by which information is disclosed, withheld and mediated hold meaning. Appropriating the structures and codes of television and cinema narratives, Silver relies on the viewer's complicity -- the expectation of how media stories are "read," the desire to believe and identify with their conventions and characters. Investigating how contemporary identity is both reflected and constructed by television and cinema, Silver questions storytelling, role-playing and the means by which popular narratives articulate fictions of the self.'
