Cuba 1988

In 1988, I had the opportunity to visit Cuba. My friend Pablo Cabado invited me to teach with him a history of photography course to art students in Havana, for 6 months. For years I had done commercial photography in Mexico City and the opportunity of shooting day after day for an extended period of time in a place like Cuba, offered great potential. These images are the result of a search for the Self in the streets of la Havana, during a period of time in which, the island itself seemed to be looking for a more adequate expression to the new reality maturing; eventually leading to the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. The project is available as a limited edition portfolio of with 21 13"x19" pigment prints, 15 copies, with a text by Juan Antonio Molina Cuesta. For more information visit the books link.
