Roberto Dutesco Roberto Dutesco is a fine art, fashion photographer and filmmaker living and working in New York City. He is of Romanian descent. “The Wild Horses of Sable Island” is evidence of a photographic odyssey and love affair that began in 1994 when Dutesco first met the wild horses of Sable Island. For the last 15 years Dutesco has studied this subject matter -- visiting, photographing and filming the horses in their natural habitat. He has produced a volume of intimate, mystical photographs and a 16 mm black and white film Sable Island. The film inspired a feature documentary Chasing Wild Horses that aired on Bravo in 2000. Sable Island is a narrow 41 km sandbar located 300 km southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Known for hundreds of years as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic,” it is the site of over 275 shipwrecks, and the home of more than 300 wild horses. It is a world that exists by its own rules, a place without trees, without shade, and without shelter. Dutesco says, “It is a place where I have witnessed true peace and unquestionable love among its occupants – the wild horses of Sable Island.” |
