This is a photographic portrait of a city that has endured the test of time. In the wake of a turbulent five hundred history, Havana today is a shipwreck of splendour and decay; a place where decades of turmoil have created haunting landscapes, both beautiful and serene.
In rich, majestic images celebrated photographer Andrew Moore captures the substance of this mysterious place. The result of four years work, the images not only document Havana and its architecture at the turn of the century, they also portray the nuances of the city's inner life.
Each photograph is filled with extraordinary artifacts from both the past and the present. As the images are viewed over time, intimate details unfold. Single images contain multiple layers of meaning. When taken as a whole, they weave a dense web of associations and contrasts that are, in essence, Cuba today.
