So, this was from when John Vella stopped us, asked for one of our phones, and said he was going to take our picture.
Here: 📸 "now a silly one!"
He said it felt like something special was happening here - so right on for taking the time to document this moment lol

This exhibition continues until 2nd September 2023.
BACK SPACE will be welcoming ‘Intimate Data Collectors’ by Holly Greaves as part of our new round of exhibitions. Join us in person on Friday the 28th of July at 6pm to celebrate.
“This installation exhibits a particular form of data collection that is instigated by the body, through the personal and emotional action of pocketing the hands. For this work, the artist has extracted and contained the debris from her pockets before severing them from her clothes.
To pocket our hands is at times a gesture of self-preservation and safety, a reaction to a feeling of shyness or humility. Not only do these areas capture bacteria carried by the hands, but also the trace of the gesture influenced by these emotions. In return, these tiny spaces reveal a physical imprint of an emotional vulnerability.
In examining these areas, we expose the otherwise hidden evidence of a particular kind of guarded and private self-touch during public times of exposure. They are diary entrees of subtle and personal retreat, self-connection and comfort felt through the hidden hug of small fabric pouches against the hands.”
