Celeste talks about Matt Saunders yo!

Contemporary, issue 83, 2006, pages 96-99


The works of Matt Saunders combine the appropriation of other images (ala Warhol) with what would've been the growth of technology during his late teens (cool sentence hey? totally all about text i am...). His images echo ideas about our mental health today (post industrial times) through his use of photography and mark making. He is quite young (born 1975) and lives in berlin. i thought his work was pretty intersting and very 'hip' (which isn't necessarily cool). you'll see what i mean...
