The nuances and oddities of London's busy streets, in work made in the capital and beyond between 2002 and 2015. This third edition, redesigned by Tom Booth Woodger, is larger than its predecessors and carries images never seen before in an updated sequence.
“More generally — and equally improbably — Matt Stuart has made one of the famously grey capitals of the world into a city of vibrant colour… In a working city, these colours are not just decorative; they are obliged, understandably, to do their share of compositional load-bearing and storytelling. The result? An endless blossom of momentary metamorphoses that are turned, in turn, into something permanent. Another name for this — for the skateboarder turned photographer — might be arrested development. No Entry signs invite us in. Red routes and yellow lines urge us to do exactly the opposite. And he lets us.” — Geoff Dyer
