Strange Moments

Matt Stuart has an amazing eye, and uses it to take pictures of small, strange moments on London streets. As the bio on his website puts it, he’s “not sure which came first, being nosey or an interest in ’street photography.’” Street photography often walks a dangerous line between art and exploitation. Stuart’s images, however, are totally magical and feel imbued with an appreciation for the deep weirdness of human beings and everyday lives. Is it just me, or are these photos sort of the visual manifestation of the Talking Heads’ songs? David Byrne solo, at least.

Basically, I only like artists whose work builds an alternate universe that I want to crawl inside of and hide in for as long as possible — a world where human beings and their animal friends live together in peaceful harmony. That’s the kind of world I want to live in.
