In July 2015, Abe Kogan navigated the streets of Havana, camera in hand,
capturing the evocative beauty of an isolated island frozen in time.
Kogan's black-and-white photographs, devoid of picturesque tropical
landscapes and charming beach scenes, are provocative, intimate
portraits of the daily lives of the Habaneros. These inner-city
vignettes reveal Havana's urban pulse and focus on the dynamic community
that inhabits a world on the brink of change. This book captures life on
the pavement, which is where Havana's citizens spend their
time--gossiping over balconies and languishing in the doorways of the
once-glorious buildings that have fallen into ruin, their expressions
marked by both vitality and hardship.
