About The Artwork

A rickshaw runner sits in traffic waiting for business as a blanket of fog is about to cover the city. Pulled Rickshaws were an inexpensive, popular mode of transportation across Asia in the 19th century. Peasants who migrated to large Asian cities often worked first as a rickshaw runner. It was "the deadliest occupation in the East, and the most degrading for human beings to pursue." Pulled Rickshaws are still widely used in Kolkata. From my series "Micro-Shops of India". A deeply personal, sometimes critical, sometimes poetic set of photographs gathered while documenting my wanderings around the streets in India, being absorbed by the melancholy of the light. Kolkata, India February 2013 Part of a Limited Edition 2/25 - Signed Certificate of Authenticity with Edition Number. - Printed on Baryta paper, the most enduring of photo papers, which has been a hit with photography aficionados for more than 140 years. This paper is particularly popular with galleries and museums taking black-and-white photography to a new level. Shining white and intense black tones, ultra-fine brightness levels and sharp contours - With a white border for easy framing - The print comes rolled inside a hard tube protected with bubble wrap and acid free paper.

Serge Horta is a Hong Kong based documentary photographer. 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 70 countries, he encounters and engages with local residents, we see deeply personal and immensely 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 the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, UK, Spain, U.A.E., France, and Switzerland.
