Alex Attard is a Maltese photographer whose practice moves between personal research, architectural commissions and photographic publication. Working across documentary and conceptual approaches, his work investigates what he describes as the ‘overlooked performance’, revealing the unnoticed presence, beauty and meaning in places, objects and moments often passed by.

 

Through his photography, Attard explores the relationship between image, place and cultural memory, creating visual records that examine traces of transformation, time and human activity. His photographs have been exhibited in Malta and internationally, with work also presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2016 and 2023 through collaborations with participating architectural practices.

 

He is the author of four photographic monographs published by Kite Group: Parallel Existences, Exposure – Fragmented Sculptures of an Island Coast, Bridges in Malta and A Celebration of Stone in Malta. Selected works are held in the National Art Collection of Malta and the collection of Fondazzjoni Kreattivita. His project Parallel Existences forms part of the permanent display at the Notarial Archives Foundation.
