About Serge Horta
Biography
Serge Horta is a documentary photographer based in Vietnam. He recently relocated to Ho Chi Minh after spending nearly two decades capturing the raw essence of life in Hong Kong.
Through his academic training in architecture, he is able to capture impossible order amidst the chaos of cities. His photographs are the result of a hypnotic obsession with how different cultures live, adapt and interact with the built environment, from the perfectly manicured suburb to the sprawling slum. His extensive portfolio documents the metamorphosis of the urban landscapes in which he has lived or merely traversed - from Sydney to New York, London to Guangzhou. Amid noise and chaos, Serge manages to find moments of peace and silence.
Having photographed in over 100 countries, we see deeply personal and engaging human stories emerging from what’s often overlooked, making a powerful, penetrating impression on the viewer.
Serge’s work is held in private collections in several countries including the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, UK, Spain, U.A.E., France, and Switzerland.
