NIGHT&DAY
A photographic journey through the life of a sleepess town
Photography by David Pisani and Elise Billiard. Audio urbanscapes by DJ CoinX (Antoine Coignard)
Conceived as a tranquil coastal retreat and quaintly named “Paceville” this urban idyll was to meet a very different fate as the forces of commerce and desire took hold of the town, turning it almost overnight into a hot-spot of neon glowing nightlife. Despite the onslaught of revelers and punters of the night Paceville wakes up every morning with a curious yawn, tacitly going about its business as if oblivious of what had happened the night before...and living its tranquil existence until night falls again and the music is turned up loud.
NIGHT & DAY is a collaborative photographic project between David Pisani, a professional photographer and Elise Billiard, an urban anthropologist and photographer, working together to document Paceville’s dual existence by day and by night. The project also includes the production of a soundscape of the town, an “Urban mix” by French DJ Antoine Coignard.
NIGHT&DAY is part financed by the Malta Arts fund in collaboration with SO Galerie and COMPUTIME Ltd.
