Blurring the line between document and artistic expression is very often the focus of   Malta based photographer Alex Attard. Driven by curiosity, he observes, filters and analyses absence and presence and tends to record the overlooked performance. His aesthetic varies from the stark and minimal to quasi abstract and prefers to develop his work in series in an attempt to scrutinise and explore a subject as extensively as possible. 

He has had various solo exhibitions one of which, ‘Parallel Existences’, has been published in book form and awarded the ‘Best Book Production’ by the National Book Council.  His work has been featured in several high-end shows and projects, including participation in the, 2019 Ostrale Contemporary Art Biennale in Germany, the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale with Architecture Project, with whom he also collaborated on a group exhibition in Paris, titled Reasonable Dreams and the 2015 Mdina Contemporary Art Biennale. 

In 2019 he was nominated for the Prix Pictet global photography award and a portfolio of his work also forms part of the National Art Collection of Malta.
