"The eye wanders through the streets of Havana. It stops in one place. He does not want a postcard for tourists, nor does he want to repeat the pictures of an architecture book, but simply to look and find something else: the detail that others do not see, the angle that others have not discovered. There is a city that no one has traveled, the one that the eye underlines, imagines, undoes, to rebuild it. It has some reality and a lot of dreams. It reveals and hides certain things in each image at the same time. It defends the rights of the gaze and put journalism aside. They are concept photos, metaphor photos, pieces of a disturbing world." Text by M. Martinez.
