Visit of Overlooked Performance by Alex Attard (The ephemeral Art beneath the face of Renzo Piano's new Parliament for Valletta)

I had went to this exhibition on 23rd March 2015, where the photographer had a talk about his own work about this personal architectural project, in which I found interesting as in every there is a form of art that one's eye can see and visualise. 
During the talk, I had the opportunity to capture photographs of what I saw in his photos as I tried interpret what I was seeing in my on way of visualising the image.I even edited and cropped some parts to see what will turn out as a result I had types of close ups on objects that I found interesting in his photographs. 

Overall, this exhibition had inspired me to see at little and peculiar things in a different way as a photographer. Capturing them in macro form and showing the detail of the subject, what interests me in some of Attard's photographs.
