Matt Saunders: Poems of our Climate

This publication encompasses eight years of work by artist Matt Saunders, who engages painting as a time-based medium through cameraless photography, animation, and innovative painting and printmaking processes. Focusing on his experimentation with colour processes, the stunning reproductions in this volume range from his first colour to his more recent large-scale video installations.Best known for his haunting portraits and landscapes (using imagery culled from avant-garde cinema and found photographs) and moving-image works, Saunders uses analogue materials to explore the affective power of images. Moving image folds together with painting, photography and print, enlivening our relationship to images and their capacity for uncanny returns, echoes and ghosts.
