It is the plants themselves that play the leading role and, aided by time, write their own history. For Matsuda, a work of art is therefore not an object but rather a snapshot in a process. Ryusaku Matsuda does not want to make art for eternity, but hopes that his works will age and decay with him. As this remarkable publication proves, Matsuda’s art is not only intriguing and philosophical, but also visually stunning.
