the theme of the city and in particular Havana without the presence of the human element, this is the first time I use portraiture in a work that has to do with the city. This work was presented for the first time at Art in General, New York, in an exhibition of the same name. In it are portrayed the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, 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. &#8220;It is the grandiloquence of an external discourse addressed to oneself, how a space can penetrate us, can enter us&#8230; 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.&#8221; (Carlos Garaicoa)   <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b75e7e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8b75e7e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-398b02e e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"398b02e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fbf6a6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6fbf6a6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5c47fe e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a5c47fe\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-802ade9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"802ade9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/carlosgaraicoa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1995-Cuando-el-deseo-se-parece-a-nada.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4955\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carlosgaraicoa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1995-Cuando-el-deseo-se-parece-a-nada.jpg 1795w, https:\/\/carlosgaraicoa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1995-Cuando-el-deseo-se-parece-a-nada-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":6052,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[],"categoria-de-obra":[197],"periodo":[203],"ano_obra":[107],"class_list":["post-4954","obras","type-obras","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-de-obra-photography","periodo-1991-2000-en","ano_obra-107"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
