“This is a project that is trying to capture the destruction of spaces created<\/span>for<\/span><\/i> the image:<\/span><\/i> cneighborhood cinemas from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s that had been abandoned to ruins and oblivion.
<\/span><\/p>

The work will consist of several big size color photographs of some of these old movie\u2019s facades in Havana. These photographs are a documentation of the actual state of these cinemas, as well of a nostalgic reference of the importance they once had in our daily lives. They demonstrate the separation, the distance we had taken from the images themselves.<\/span><\/p>

A second part of the work, a model of a cinema designed by me, wants to push a little more on the subject, as on its screen we will watch a movie without images: a list of censored movies towards the history of cinema. Together with the devastation of the old cinemas, the actual collapse of spaces created for images \u2013a sort of image realm.<\/span><\/p>

The image of decay projected by the old buildings only confirms the black screen purpose, the absolute image absence. The perfection of the new cinema\u2019s model, with all its red velvet chairs contrasts its inaction. It only conquers us a space: not to watch, only to do not forget.
