Title
Melita
Description
The zine wants to document the old Malta, the "real" one, the one I've known since I have memories, and it wants to document the island through the eyes of those who have visited it every year since 1993 until today, experiencing its fast and constant change. I tried to convey what Malta was and still is in part before skyscrapers and consumerism completely took over the island. This project encloses curiosities and historical notions of such a small place that it is almost incredible to believe the amount of history it can hide. The fanzine is shot entirely on 35mm, with expired and unexpired rolls of film, to try to convey the sensations and reconstruct in the reader's imagination the life of the past in this beautiful place.
