Matt - East London

Matt is a corporate fundraiser for the NSPCC. After spending four years at his current place he has decided to up sticks and get out of the UK for a bit and experience something new in South-East Asia.

His room is fairly conventional, with a smattering of interesting pieces, like the pile of Margaret Atwood books that he was given by the World Book Night on the premise that he hand out the title to anyone and everyone, as it was one of the books he chose as a favourite from their list – originally he had forty and when I photographed his bedroom he was down to his final seventeen. The mask that his sister brought him back from Belize when she was on her Doctors elective in a hospital over there. And the lovely Stik picture he bought from one the artists shows.
When I asked Matt what he would save if his bedroom were on fire, he said, “At this moment in time, most importantly my passport, or I wouldn’t be able to get out of the country. My glasses, and the blue picture hanging over the bed, my girlfriend Claire gave it to me for my birthday.”
