c. David Pisani
Vanishing Valletta brings together a collection of 189 images that have never been exhibited in their entirety to Valletta 2018; it’s the fruit of an exhaustive photographic essay on the port city of Valletta and the surrounding Grand Harbour that began in 1982. The exhibition is part of A Tale of Two Cities – a cross-cultural photography exhibition by artist and photographer David Pisani, whose work explores architectural poetry as a metaphor for the human condition. Pisani’s work has been exhibited at the prestigious Biennale of Photography in Paris in 1996 and was entered in the Permanent collections of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in June 2000.
