In zijn werk verkent hij de omgeving die hem omringt. Hij exploreert en analyseert zijn leefruimte, in de breedste zin van het woord. Hij tast de fysieke ruimte af, bestudeert en systematiseert ze. Het blootleggen van structuren is steeds belangrijker dan de esthetische kwaliteiten. Matthys wil de toeschouwer bewust maken van de complexiteit van onze perceptie. Op die manier kan je het werk zien als een geformaliseerd onderzoek naar de waarneming.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHet werk\u0026nbsp;\u003cem\u003eGolf St-Malo\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;speelt met de schijnbare tegenstelling tussen de fotografie als momentopname en het vastleggen van een tijdsverloop.
