Paolo Simonazzi. Habana, eventual. Ediz. italiana, inglese e spagnola

A photographic collection of Centro Habana in Cuba where history seems to have stopped, yet moves under the skin, a bridgehead between its extraordinary lost beauty and an unresolved present. Text in English, Italian and Spanish. From “calle” Vapor to Perseverancia, from San Lázaro to “parque” Trillo, from “callejón” de Hamel to the Malecón. Centro Habana is an Indian reservation, a place where geographies and legends, memories and illusions, surreal existences and crude realisms intersect continuously, transforming reality into a transit of time, where history seems to have stopped, yet moves under the skin, hidden, clandestine, a bridgehead between its extraordinary lost beauty and an unresolved present. A journey where every place becomes as deep as a wrinkle, as alive as an ever-open wound. A possible itinerary in an elusive, labyrinthine city, poised between joy and despair, with its destiny suspended, between a cumbersome past and a complicated, perhaps possible, future. (Davide Barilli) Texts by Davide Barilli, Ilaria Campioli, Paolo Simonazzi. Text in English, Italian and Spanish.
