Edificio Solimar, Soledad #205 (between San Lázaro and Animas), Centro Habana
This large-scale photograph by Robert Polidori captures the decaying grandeur of the Edificio Solimar, a once-magnificent modernist apartment building in Centro Habana, revealing layers of peeling paint, crumbling plaster, and the intimate traces of human habitation within its deteriorating facade. Polidori's meticulous documentary style transforms architectural decay into a meditation on time, memory, and the resilience of everyday life in Havana. The work is a signed, numbered first edition print (1/10), with details inscribed on a gallery label affixed to the reverse of the frame.
