« Like Bruce Chatwin’s travel diaries, Matt Wilson’s photographic wanderings occasionally produce some pictures. Few, indeed, but so unusual, slightly damaged due to the outdated film he uses. His vision is ageless, he doesn’t want to capture reality, just the instant. An instant / time, a meeting. A language develops through his travels. He has traveled widely in Europe, but ended in a new territory, the United States. His vision is surprising and delivers an astonishing vision revealed in a snapshot. » Christine Ollier.
