metalocus, JOSÉ JUAN BARBA

Opening next November 2, an interesting exhibition "Dormir Con..." in Gallery Rita Castellote, with a theme that surely will interest you. Photo visit to somewhere more private of each house in Cuba, bedroom. The photographs were taken across the length and breadth of the island. Voluntary and indiscreet visit beyond the limits of the public to bring us where we spend a third of our life, space in which we dream, we disclose and procreate. The series is set in the fine threshold between the author photography and documentary photography, not only constitutes the registration of a reality, conveys the presence, sometimes uncomfortable and always revealing the artists.
