White Wedding Imagine a reality coexisting with two parallel dimensions. One of these dimensions would be simply the one that we live in, where we exist as ourselves. The second, an alternate reality where all of us would have another one, a projection of a world without constraints of any order, an almost cinematic existence within an imaginary admittedly obscure. Who are the characters that Nuno Horta creates for shooting? And in which way models and characters can be the same for the shoot, an alternative imaginary, disturbing dreams? The photographic work of Nuno Horta establish this passage. His gaze interprets people who see a real dimension, then they are transfigured. An exercise of discovering the self, then settles a visual manifestation of some hidden appeal that lodges in the most inaccessible places of the human mind. This artistic fiction is as bleak as effulgent. The atmosphere is terrifying, but enigmatically seductive. Where it forms the border? The allure of Nuno Horta by this dichotomy between good and evil, if we may define it, is also the result of his rebellious youth, marked by gothic and punk influences, and a latent thirst for transgression. The White Wedding series is more an immersion in the universe perplexing, but always with the beauty present, and where the irony and humor also mark a space. This time, making it invisible not only the faces but also the bodies of two unlikely betrothed, a singular ceremony coming from a black dream photographed in white. Festive pictured with bandages. Smiles of faces not disclosed. The union of two strangers, nonexistent beings. Crosses and guns, karaokes of deceased, a plastic child, giveaways and a cleaver. The dance between life and death satirized by the lens.
