ALAMAR - Mauro d'Agati
Built in the late 1970s by the Castro regime to create "a new man", Alamar's architecture is depressive. One concrete bar follows another as far as the eye can see, reminiscent of the worst period of architecture in the former USSR. Far from the paradisiacal beaches, in this cold universe that has neither past splendor nor glorious future, beats the heart of the real Cuba. Italian photographer Mauro d'Agati delivers a bitter-sweet poetic vision.
