In Deaths by Misadventure, M d’Entremont pairs imaginary single sentence obituaries with photographs of bucolic landscapes to create an unsettling world of surreal deaths and everyday banalities. With echoes of Felix Feneon and Edward Gorey, d’Entremont explores and exposes the sliver of darkness below the surface in his deadpan 3-line sketches. — Lauren Leja, author of Invisible Commute
