LA HABANA desde un carro
« LA HABANA desde un carro » are images of daily life taken in Havana 25-28 years ago during the so-called « periodo especial » following the fall of the Soviet Union and throwing Cuba, which was already experiencing a severe US embargo, into a dramatic economic crisis. These sequences are intimately linked to each other in my memory. By bike, car, motorbike, waiting for the bus, the « guagua », hitchhiking, looking at the horizon on the Malecon, walking from one place to another under the hot tropical sun and always smiling and living life intensively.
