Malecón

A large-scale c-print mounted on honeycomb aluminium, Stan Douglas's *Malecón* captures the crumbling yet resilient streetscape of Havana's famous seafront boulevard. The work draws on Douglas's interest in history, memory, and the passage of time, presenting a meticulously constructed image that blurs the boundaries between documentary photography and staged fiction. The cold precision of the aluminium mount contrasts with the warm decay of the architecture, reinforcing the tension between permanence and deterioration that runs throughout the piece.
