Carlos Garaicoa

Two works: i. Quijote ii. La maravilla (La conversación)

Two large-scale color photographs printed on duraflex paper capture architectural and urban landscapes imbued with literary and philosophical resonance. In *Quijote*, Garaicoa evokes the spirit of Cervantes' legendary dreamer through the lens of crumbling or reimagined built environments, while *La maravilla (La conversación)* suggests an exchange between spaces, structures, or histories, inviting viewers into a contemplative dialogue. Together, the works reflect the Cuban artist's signature practice of layering fiction, memory, and urban decay into richly constructed photographic narratives.
