Description

Joseph M. Lopez was born in New York City but identifies strongly
with his Cuban roots. His work is intimately linked to his family’s
displacement from Cuba in the 1960s. These six photographs are early studies
for an ongoing project called Cuba in
Pieces
, in which Lopez aims to photograph the whole circumference of the
island. Several images here depict his grandmother, an exile from Cienfuegos,
offering fragmentary memories of her final days in Miami.





Aunque nacido en la Ciudad de Nueva
York, Joseph M. Lopez se identifica profundamente con sus raíces cubanas; su
obra se vincula estrechamente al desplazamiento sufrido por su familia en la
Cuba de los años 60. Estas seis fotos son estudios iniciales para un incesante
proyecto que llamó Cuba en pedazos,
con el cual tiene en mira fotografiar la circunferencia entera de la Isla.
Varias de estas imágenes ilustran a su abuela, exiliada de Cienfuegos, que
ofrece recuerdos fragmentarios de sus últimos días en Miami.
