Matt Sears is an interdisciplinary artist, fabricator, and craftsman based in Brooklyn, NY. Encompassing photography and sculpture his work engages themes of collective time, the limits of memory, and impermanence. Utilizing analog and custom experimental photographic techniques, images range from months long exposures tracking the arc of the sun over the course of a year to returning to the same subject at different periods, capturing temporal durations inaccessible to direct experience. He approaches photography with an emphasis not toward a singular image or document but as a collection of gestures, which in their relation to one another create a displacement of the commonplace, to wrest the familiar in order to see things anew in the service of broader narratives.
