Brides on Beds Documentary Portraiture - Photography by Therese Debono.

Photography Project as part of Art+Feminism 2020 (exhibition) presented in February and March 2020 at Spazju Kreattiv.


Artist Statement

In this project brides are set on beds, often looking at their wedding gowns which they are moments away from wearing. The beds are either their parents’ bed or their own bed in their parents’ household.

The background for these portraits is symbolic as well. If the bride poses on her parents’ bed, it is mainly because the mother would have done up the bedroom in anticipation for the big day. In typical Maltese fashion the mother would take out the best bed linen for the occasion, however some things remain permanently there such as religious icons and other paraphernalia decorating the bedrooms.

There are brides that pose on their own bed and possibly that could be symbolic of their own attachment to their bedroom in which they grew up in till that day.
