Alternative Malta

Anna Galon was the only Media Studies student on our excursion. She created an exhibit of photos which would not be included in a tourist guide to Malta: a single yellow flower in a desert-like landscape, an unsteady rock formation, a poodle wearing fluorescent blue sunglasses. Our favorite was the photo of a ferocious-looking Great Dane dog, usually joined by his equally curious master, gazing down on us every day from a small window in the building next to our hotel, closely observing our comings and goings.

In fact, there were several expert photographers among us: Muller Manalu took digital photos for this website, Anja Münch and Rebecca Mies shot pictures for their CD-ROM, Matthias Merzhäuser added to his already impressive collection of slides which he showed at the Market, and Tim Schulte entertained us at our excursion follow-up picnic in Werthenbach with his unusual slides. Our thanks to all those camera cracks!
