Matthew Thompson
My work represents a personal pursuit of significance within the vernacular, the everyday. By photographing the world around me, everyday movements and engagements serve as means to form a narrative; highlighting poignant moments, reminding me - to quote Barthes - of what has been. As a photographer, this relationship with the transient becomes a form of meditation. Responding to curiosity with little conscious contemplation involved, I take an intuitive approach at the time of photographing. In subsequent editing and sequencing, I embrace formality. The images exist in the moment they took place - I am interested only in the atmosphere that emerges. These images present are taken from a larger body of work whereby they exist in sequential book form.
