Almost immediately upon his arrival in Havana, American photographerMichael Dweckbecame a witness to a side of Cuban society that hasn’t welcomed
witnesses – much less Americans or photographers – since the revolution.
With the aid of luck, charm and a translator, he landed in the midst of
afarandula– a close-knit group of well-connected artists –
that seemingly merged the artistic integrity of the 30’s-era Parisian
salons with the glamour and star-power of the 70’s-era Studio 54.
Through his unprecedented (and unrestricted) access to this hidden
society of artists, writers, film makers, musicians and models, he was
able to assemble a photographic narrative of a seductive and privileged
world unseen by the West. |
