Matthew Pillsbury (30) is an American born in France and currently living in New York
“Matthew records his images using only the light of a screen, whether television screen or computer monitor.
He is fascinated by the spaces in which his compatriots live today, inhabited solely by television or computer screens, small glowing rectangles in an often grandiose urban space perceived through windows. Natural history museums have often attracted the attention of photographers. Here, the museum visitors have been turned into ghostly presences while the mounted animals have taken on a semblance of life."
