Nationality: Malta

Therese Debono is a Maltese photographer whose practice develops through long-term engagement with specific places. She is concerned with what cannot be seen: traces, erasure, and the quiet presence of what has taken place. Her work focuses on sites that have been altered, erased, or rebuilt, and are now becoming ordinary while still holding layers of lived experience and, at times, trauma. Rather than explain or reconstruct events, her photographs allow absence to remain visible. Her practice is shaped by repetition, restraint, and time. Alongside her artistic work, she lectures on photography and visual culture.
