Nhu Xuan Hua is a Parisian photographer based in London. Her work embodies a visual language that is cross-disciplinary in its approach, reflecting her artistic practices that extend beyond photography into mixed-media and sculpture.
Nhu Xuan’s world is always on the edge, it catches the elusive moment when the perception shifts from real to surreal . This interests into arts led her to a signature which goes beyond fashion photography.
Molding each element of the frame as a sculptor would do with clay, she looks at every objects as a physical shape more than a functional tool. She uses her sets to turn her abstract projections into real, questioning the space as a bi-dimensional frame to fill in with very precise compositions.
As a story teller, she likes her models to embody a real part and sometime to capture them in a loss moment, unveiling both beauty and dark side.
‘I photograph bodies most of the time but I like to see something abstract or organic in something which is shaped and somehow unmodifiable by nature. The body which doesn’t looks like a body is what attracts me the most. Artists like Hans Bellmer, Max Ernst, Bacon, Giacommeti are really inspiring for me.’
