Havana triggers a wealth of inner images and projections. Beyond clichés, photographer Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek directs her gaze at everyday life in Havana. Her photographs show life in the streets, the mood of the people. While looking and reading, the Cuban capital unfolds in all its light and shadow sides. The renewed economic recession has brought the initiated changes in Cuba to a standstill. The associated privations are reflected in the behavior and faces of the people living in Havana. Fahrner-Tutsek’s photographs show the city’s residents going about their business (which is often none), sitting on the street, perhaps playing, or simply waiting. In a poetic approach, Cuban writer Leonardo Padura describes life in contemporary Havana. The volume is enhanced by an insightful essay by renowned photographer and theorist of photography Michael Freeman.
