“My World” Photographic Exhibition in July
This photographic exhibition will be held at the “ Centre for National Culture – Ir-Razzett tal-Markiz Mallia Tabone” in Mosta, between the 3rd and the 16th of July. MAP to talent Mosti.
“My World” is a collection of works that portray my self through different times, the good times, the bad times, others when I was relaxed or tense. The main scope of the exhibition came from a question posed to me some time ago, “Why do I photograph”, what is it that makes me want snap more, or to wake up early morning just to take a couple of shots.
Many times I ask myself
What is the philosophy behind my urge to stop time
And for just one fraction of a second capture it
And freeze that moment in a photograph
What is that energy that I feel
That makes me want to get the next shot
Then another one
And another one
What makes me run through the night
Searching just the right lighting
Just the right corner
To portray what I have in mind
What is it that drives me through the early morning
When the sun has not yet risen
And I am there waiting in pure solitude
Waiting for just one instance
Maybe a couple of shots, then its over
Why do I get that strange feeling
That my camera is an extension to my self
Is it just a means of expression
Or maybe a way how to record time
Is it because I simply love it
Or maybe because I want to leave something behind
When I am not there any more

[...] My world is an exhibition that emerged from a question, that set me thinking about why do I do what I do through photography. Going back through images and instances that have passed through my camera’s sensor I realize how my mood and my feelings were somehow transformed into images. [...]
