Description

In his debut series How They Certainly Were Discovered, Matt Bell pulls from the wide selection of styles to produce reports which are equally imaginatively wealthy and officially innovative. In one single, a 19th century minister uses ghostly directions to construct a physical messiah. In another, a tyrannical military leader watches whilst the recollections of his men start to crash and diminish his apocalyptic order slide away. Elsewhere, killings are listed, new sides are planned, fairy-tales retold and are fractured and subsequently fractured again.
