Sleeth's work with Myuran Sukumaran at Kerobokan Prison and the campaign to save Sukumaran and Andrew Chan from execution, fuelled the development of 2017's Guilty. In his feature film debut, Sleeth highlighted the final 72 hours of Sukumaran's life and questions the use of execution as a means of punishment. Guilty premiered at the Adelaide Film Festival on 8 October 2017 and was released by Madman Entertainment on DVD in April 2020.

In 2015 Sleeth co-wrote and directed A Drone Opera. Presented by Arts House and Experimenta, the live performance combined opera singers, laser set-design and purpose-built drones to bring together the sense of surveillance and menace that explores our relationship with new technologies. In June 2019, a cinematic version of A Drone Opera was screened at the Sydney Film Festival and a three-channel film installation was presented at Carriageworks, Sydney.

In 2010 Sleeth was a recipient of the Siemens-RMIT Fine Art Scholarship Award for his work Scale Model for Still Life: a 3D printed sculpture using Stereolithography.

Following the publication of Opfikon in 2004, Sleeth's practice became more conceptually driven. His work expanded from photography and video to include sculpture, print-making and installation. The exhibition of public billboards Sleeth presented for the 2008 Melbourne International Arts Festival, Pattern Recognition, was described as exploring "ideas about photography itself". His solo exhibition, Various Positions (parts 1 through 6), opened at New York's Claire Oliver Gallery in Chelsea, Manhattan on 18 March 2009, and was described as "working toward a new photographic aesthetic".

In 2005/6 Sleeth lived in Tokyo as part of the Australia Council’s studio residency program and was named as one of Australia’s 50 most collectable artists by Australian Art Collector Magazine in 2006 and 2008. His book Tour of Duty was included in The Photobook: A History volume 2 by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger.

In 2001 Matthew Sleeth was named one of the 30 most influential artists under 30 in PDN Magazine.
