SETH AND SHEILA STAYED BEHIND
Published by New Documents, 2015
DESCRIPTION
"Seth and Sheila Stayed Behind" pairs a short story by Sheila Heti with photographs by Seth Fluker. “Seth” and “Sheila” are the main characters of Heti’s abstract narrative of longing and transition, one which sets the stage for Fluker’s photographs of a wintry Toronto landscape, filled with anthropomorphized automobiles and embankments of dirty snow.

DRESSED FOR SPACE
Art Metropole, 2014
DESCRIPTION
Influenced by friend and musician Robert Alfons (Trust), Seth Fluker’s version of "Dressed for Space" is a study of sound through figurative and abstract imagery. Floating between familiar and forgotten landscapes, Seth’s portraits of Robert depict a parallel world of affecting soundscapes and atmospheric melodies. Played on a continuous loop, these euphoric, synthpop compositions were a direct inspiration to Fluker’s digital manipulation process.

BEFORE THINGS CHANGE
Self-published, 2010
DESCRIPTION
"Before Things Change" is a small insight into Seth Fluker's occupation at Whole Foods Market Soho, London, UK. Each image slowly evolved and quickly disappeared within his workspace while washing grimy kitchen utensils and haphazardly disposing customer waste. Through the sequencing of this edition, Seth aimed to represent the ever-changing emotions he felt during each shift.
