Susan Bank: Cuba, Campo Adentro

Susan Bank: Cuba, Campo Adentro (48 black & white photographs) at Zone Zero. "...The 'Campo Adentro' project began in March 2002 as an accident. What I intended to be a weekend retreat from the hustle of Havana became a deeply intense personal journey, returning again and again for the next five years to barrio Cuajaní, in the Valley of Viñales, Pinar del Río Province.
Landing in Havana, that illusive, mythical citadel of contradictions and juxtapositions, one feels catapulted back in time to the 1950’s. To know Pinar del Río, is to feel gently pulled back another fifty years."
