Smouldered #3 (2023) by Florinda Camilleri in collaboration with Sarah Bonaci was exhibited as part of Affect Aliens curated by Elyse Tonna and part of the SPRING Artistic Programme by the Gabriel Caruana Foundation.

Sarah and I become trickster aliens, playing with matter and time. We perform a layering of matters: our alien journey materialised as polaroid images, which we then expose to chemical agents of the space over time, and eventually lifted onto objects from within the space. Our affective journey produces an object which is affected by the space over time, which we then layer onto another object chosen affectively. The site-specificity of this process aims to magnify the essences of the Mill and its surroundings within objects laden with alien affect. With each image, there is a relinquishment of control and an opening of possibilities, allowing other agents to take over - the image may be damaged, destroyed, or may even disappear.

Florinda Camilleri, 2023

The exhibition Affect Aliens explored the points of encounter between human and more-than-human bodies as sites of creative potential. Here, relational curiosity is materialised through transdisciplinary co-creative processes within collaborative work involving digital media, polaroid photography, clay sculptures, and live performance. For this expansive research-based project, Florinda has invited some special collaborators on board: Sarah Bonaci to research and create with polaroid photography, Romeo Roxman Gatt to research and create with digital imagery, and Kamila Wolszczak Speculative Artifacts to research and create with clay.
