Parallel Existences
The Notarial Archives: A Photographer's Inspiration
Alex Attard
Editors: Joan Abela & Emanuel Buttigieg
Awarded the National Book Prize 2019 for the best book production
International Photography Awards - Honorable Mention in the Fine Art Book category
"Alex Attard, in the Notarial Archives, discovered unbearable beauty in decay, harmony in disorder and energy in detritus. His ground-breaking work, has inspired a number of toilers in the aesthetic and philosophical vineyards to translate into words the aethereal language of that haunting spirit.
Joan Abela and Emanuel Buttigieg have converged their dynamisms to bring about the first collection of essays inspired by, or related to, the Notarial Archives. A harvest of original works all anchored to the res gestae of our ancestors, mostly bilateral contracts and unilateral wills; in other words, the irrepressible interactions of life and the inevitability of death.” – Judge Giovanni Bonello

“Alex Attard’s coastline series excretes a silent stoicness that is evoked by a profound connection to the primaeval quality of the yet unspoilt landscape which harkens back to the Earth’s enigmatic origins.” – Prof Vince Briffa
Exposure, Fragmented Sculptures of an Island Coast, is an eight-year-long journey documenting the interface were land meets sea. Weathered and worn, the sculpted rock face stands as silent witness to the passage of time, reminding us of the beauty that emerges from impermanence.
