maltatoday | SUNDAY • 23 DECEMBER 2018 17 COMMERCIAL CULTURE APS Bank has collaborated with artist and photographer David Pisani on his unique 'Vanishing Valletta' photography project, which documents Malta's ever-changing capital city of Valletta over the past 29 years. Starting in 1982, Pisani first captured his unparalleled photographs of Vallet- ta, which include the surrounding har- bour area and the red-light area of Strait Street, as part of a photo essay depicting derelict buildings. The project quickly evolved into an epic documentation of the city that has since spanned almost three decades. As part of the Bank's ongoing commit- ment to supporting cultural and heritage projects, APS is currently exhibiting a se- lection of photographs from the 'Vanish- ing Valletta' collection on digital screens at its Valletta, Floriana, Sliema, Mosta and Swatar branches. This will further promote the artist's collection of 192 images selected from thousands of nega- tives, which will be exhibited at Spazju Kreattiv in Valletta between Friday 21 December and Sunday 27 January. "Using the Bank's resources to promote local artists like David Pisani, as well as such interesting projects as 'Vanishing Valletta', is the perfect way to imple- ment our core belief in supporting the artistic and cultural scene," comments Herve Delpech, Head of Strategy and Marketing at APS Bank. "We believe this project provides fascinating insight into the changing face of our island's capital city, and that it allows people to remem- ber the past while also appreciating the present." David Pisani's ground-breaking photography project shows how Valletta has changed over the course of nearly three decades APS Bank supports 'Vanishing Valletta' project The best from Broadway and the West End TEATRU Manoel will be the backdrop for stars from London's West End and some of the best local musical theatre singers in two different concerts.
