It is not merely a photographic exhibition, is a sensory experience, in two dimensions with images and sounds. A design that had a cross-sectional, theme the Cold War, therefore, be inspired by the new technologies and visit this show at the House of Mudas, in Calheta.
The theme paperclip extends into the remaining photographic exhibition? There are photos of nature and the urban environment.
Nuno Serrao: For me all fall in the theme, is a question of interpretation, and this I let to visitors of the exhibition to think about. There are many ways to interpret the influence of the cold war period in this exhibition, from a symbolic content where boundless imagination and a strong culture of curiosity were the main guidelines. Post-apocalyptic scenario, the strong influence of the space race, an entire urban culture that emerged at that time, there is plenty to ramble.
To what extent did you create the sounds for each image that were essential in this exhibition?
NS: The sound ambiences were directed by me and created mostly by Alexnoise were essential because they were an integral part of a concept where art is not limited to photography, but extends to the music that was created and is very involved in programming creation software.
The sound came from a mixture, or were collected on the outside and then edited?
NS: All themes are unique and each of the instruments conceived and framed in a setting that I created for each photo. There was no capture sounds in place of the photograph. The concept is to use (and other variables) sounds captured by the microphone of the telephone visitor, so that are part of each soundscape picture.
You say you had been inspired by the second world war, how took place as the creative process? What sparked this topic?
NS: Because due to the cultural, scientific, political, and military, it's a period that has always fascinated me, and I believe it is one of the crudest representations of our best and worst moments as a civilization. For all the surroundings influence me so permanently eventually was reflected (in one form or another) throughout the creative aspect.
Some of the images took a long time to be captured? Which one took more time and why?
NS: The ones that took longer were certainly long exposures, because the method ultimately requires it. Others were the result of chance. The "Milky Way Path" for example, came after frustrated day but the intention was to take pictures elsewhere. The weather set me up, or maybe not.
This is your first exhibition. Why now?
NS: Because I always thought and still think that my photography still has a lot to evolve. I just do photography for two years and, and always in a way, or only in the week-end. Since I had to start somewhere and after postponing constantly, I thought I had enough material for a first exhibition.

Dizes que te inspirastes na segunda guerra mundial, como decorreu o processo criativo? O que detonou esta temática?
NS: Porque a nível cultural, cientifico, político, e militar, é uma época que sempre me fascinou e, por acreditar que seja uma das mais cruas representações dos nossos melhores e piores momentos como civilização. Por toda essa envolvência me influenciar de forma tão permanente acaba por se reflectir (de uma forma ou outra) em todo o aspecto criativo.
Algumas das imagens demoraram imenso tempo para serem captadas? Qual a que demorou mais e porquê?
NS: As que demoraram mais foram certamente as longas exposições, porque o método acaba por o exigir. Outras foram fruto da oportunidade. A “Milky Way Path” por exemplo, surgiu após uma saída frustrada em que o intuito era tirar fotografias noutro local. A meteorologia tramou-me, ou talvez não.
Uma primeira exposição só agora, porquê?
NS: Porque sempre achei e, continuo a achar que a minha fotografia ainda tem muito por onde evoluir. Apenas faço fotografia à dois anos e, sempre de forma intermitente, com algumas saídas ao fim-de-semana. Como tinha que começar por algum lado e após adiar constantemente, achei que já tinha material suficiente para uma primeira exposição.
