An exhibition of recent videos, photographs and paintings by Vince Briffa opens at St James Cavalier on Thursday.

The exhibition, co-curated by the artist and Sandro Debono, senior curator of the National Museum of Fine Arts, presents a dialogue by the artist, known for his transmedia conceptual work, with select works from the National Collection.

For the first time, the exhibition brings together three bodies of Briffa’s work based on the theme of the uncertainty of all that is human.

It is supposed to “explore ambivalent spaces located at the centre of ambiguity”, and address “the boundaries between a happening and its memory, where neither the action nor its intention is clear and where memory is left with no nurturing material referent”.

The select works from the National Collection have been chosen to “interact to suggest thematic affinities with the vagueness of Briffa’s works, representing a constant continuum which takes on added meanings through time”.

The exhibition will be open at the Upper Galleries, St James Cavalier, Valletta, till May 22.
