In zijn praktijk is Matthieu Litt vooral geïnteresseerd in het begrip afstand, en hoe hij dit visueel kan verbreken en verkennen, door de grenzen en herkenningspunten te vervagen. Hij bewerkstelligt dit door afbeeldingen in zijn nabije omgeving en afbeeldingen van ver in het buitenland samen te stellen. Momenteel woont en werkt hij in Luik.

Over de kunstenaar
From a review in Éditions Yellow Now
What makes the beauty, the strength, the interest of Matthieu Litt's photos is indisputable but cannot be easily identified or specified. It’s light work without lacking depth. Floating without lacking anchorage. Allusive although fundamentally documentary in nature. Wandering, finally, while being very personal and embodied. He takes us, but where? ... Far away. Horsehead Nebula ...
Emmanuel d’Autreppe
Horsehead Nebula review in Paper Journal
By playing with our expectations, though not incidentally, creating a genuinely sympathetic portrait of this place, wherever it is, Litt offers an alternative route out of the deadlock of a photographer pursuing an age-old fascination of the medium, one that has begun to seem increasingly burdened by its own ugly heritage. By contrast, Litt’s pictures are light in a way that can at once acknowledge his (and our) role as interloper, without sacrificing any of the often magnetic pull that other cultures – and not just the culture of the Other – continue to have over our imaginations.
Darren Campion
Close, by far
Nothing is harder than to escape from evidence.
But Matthieu Litt’s photography makes it possible in a brilliant way. His images appear like haunted by an indefinable presence which endows his images with a disconcerting timelessness, a troubling uprooting. Captured in daily life’s most banality and proximity, Matthieu Litt’s pictures take us to far-away horizons, on the borders of ambiguity, exotism, isolation and even of disturbing strangeness.
