Description
Berlin-based artist Matt Saunders has been making waves in the art world with his striking hybrid images and animated films. By combining techniques from photography and painting, he creates new discourses about portraiture, iconography, and spectatorship. This book documents an exhibition of his work at the Renaissance Society, featuring stunning reproductions of his artwork alongside two conversations with artist Josiah McElheny and an essay by experimental film scholar Bruce Jenkins. The book offers a unique insight into Saunders's sophisticated working methods and explores the relationship between painting, photography, and film. It also delves into the dynamics of his iconography, providing a nuanced understanding of this intriguing artist's practice. With its blend of artistic vision and critical analysis, Matt Saunders: Parallel Plot is an evocative introduction to the work of this innovative artist.
