Exploring urban landscapes, architectures, infrastructures, passages and everyday disruptions, between affluence and debris, in a continuous reflection on time, space and its transformations has been at the centre of Nuno Cera’s work. The Blur City derives from an artistic residency in Macao, which took place between September and October 2019, allowing Nuno Cera to return to the region 20 years after his first visit, supported by BABEL cultural organization and Orient Foundation.
Centred around Macau, Hong Kong and Guangzhou, The Blur City presents seventeen photographs and two videos made during his second passage through China. Simultaneously a new approach to the Futureland (2008), presenting thirty-six photographs of a project originally conceived as visual atlas, subjective but also narrative and documentary of cities such a Istanbul, Cairo, Dubai, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Shanghai, Jakarta and Bombay. Between different times, spaces and projects, dialogues are established between the public and the private, the micro and the macro, the natural and the constructed, the old and the new, in a complex and poetic network of unexpected relationships that provoke states of suspension and expectations of a blurred future.
