I have usually dealt with the subject of the city and in particular Havana without the presence of the human element, this is the first time I use the portrait in a work that has to do with the city. This work was presented for the first time in Art in General, New York, in a homonymous exhibition. In it the twin towers of the World Trade Center are shown in N.Y, a young Cuban with this image tattooed on his arm and an old photo of a Tatoo Parlor in the United States accompanied by tattooing instruments of domestic origin. “It is the grandiloquence of an external discourse directed at oneself, how a space can penetrate us, can enter us … until it becomes an obsession. It is a metaphor about how to transgress a real space, or transpose a real space through our own body – what we can inscribe in ourselves, our own desire, but how this desire can be so painful that we are aware of it. “ (Carlos Garaicoa)
