Sean Mallia is presenting his first exhibition focused on food photography as an objet d'art. For Gastrografija, Mallia, who often works as a commercial food photographer, chose not to be influenced by a client, thus allowing himself the artistic freedom he is used to as a practitioner with a design and concept oriented background. The aim of the work contained in this exhibition is precisely that of experimenting on a blank canvas while honing his skills in visual making through photography. The exhibition is about form, colour, food, texture and the perennial tussle between order and disorder, focusing on the fact that even in order there is a certain amount of disorder. Mallia's approach for Gastrografija varied to that normally adopted by designers or architects who first carry out research to then come up with a concept which is designed and implemented. Rather, here Mallia first came up with a basic idea that saw him wanting to create several sets of prints to then allow the viewer the space to come up with his or her own interpretation of the work. To do this, he selected the background and then proceeded to compliment it with an interesting composition on the foreground.
