Havana Mirage: Behind the Wall at the Havana Biennial 2019

Contemplating the surreal essence of Havana and the stark contrasts it undergoes in its socio-political loop immerses us in a sea of uncertainties. Some wish to depart, while others choose to stay, but it’s the mirages that profoundly shape the passage of time, influencing how we perceive the disparities within Havana.

“Havana Mirage” seeks to delve into the duality between the tangible reality and the illusion of a brighter future, uncovering how these two forces coexist in the fabric of hope. In this context, the artwork stands as a reflection of deep contemplation on the complexity that defines this city, marked by intersections between the tangible and the ephemeral, the concrete and the illusory.
