The flesh is but a vessel; a vessel that transposes space and time when evoking other-worldly manifestations through art, ritual, and exaltation. In the pits of darkness, we soak up the energies entering and exiting our wounds. When the spirit overwhelms the vessel with mania and awe, when we have exacerbated all of our energy into merging the internal and external, we transcend. This is where Matthew Stone‘s body of work makes its presence known.
“Like a flame burning away the darkness, Life is flesh on bone convulsing above the ground.“

The bulk of the photographs shown are from live art performances that Matthew has conducted himself, as well as from separate shoots. He’s also recently been getting into film! :] I highly recommend checking out the website for more of his work! http://www.matthewstone.co.uk/

These are so obscure and interesting to stare at. Are they strictly photographs, or are these from a noir film of some sort?
