A Collaborative project where I was brought on to document and photograph the artist at her most vulnerable as part of her broader project 'Point of You' where she created a series of self-portraits often with the outside eye in mind. Originally Tina Mifsud would photograph herself with her own phone or camera but she then decided to take a step further by including an outside and yet inquisitive eye; me.
Following her from the completion of her last works to the creation of the exhibition space (curated by Andrew Borg Wirth), my task was to continuously weave a narrative of interpretation and re-interpretation by means of my film cameras, my video cameras and my pen. What resulted was a wholly organic conversation between the perceiver and the perceived; such that even when the works themselves were being displayed, the art continued to be developed and influenced by both artist and outside forces. In the middle of the room Tina had laid out a large canvas, which she painted and kept revisiting over the course of the exhibition - naturally being unable to escape the impressions of others - that final work and her act of painting during the exhibition itself became a performative piece that was as real and as transitory as our lives.
