Habanero

Black & white street photography in Havana, Cuba.

Executed by photographer Orestes Gonzalez* during several trips back to his place of birth, this visual odyssey is a mix of dynamic moments on the streets of Havana, paired with more intimate interior shots that emanate the essence of loss, nostalgia and survival.

With texts by esteemed art historians Grethel Morell & Andres Isaac Santana, and with a 1970's graphic aesthetic by Violeta Roque d e Arana, this photo book captures the uniqueness of Havana, its current landscape, and its people.

*Orestes Gonzalez is a NYC based photographer and architect.

His previous book "Julio's House" (KGP Projects, 2017), is in the permanent collections of MoMA, The Metropolitan Museum of NY, The Guggenheim Museum, The British Library, and The Yale Library, among others.
