Andrew Moore: Cuba
dAMIAnI
Introduction by Joel smith. Afterword by orlando Luis Pardo Lazo.
american photographer andrew moore began photographing in Cuba in 1998, and over the next fourteen years
he made ten further visits, working to reveal the many facets of the island’s unique character and life. In 2002, he
published some of this work in Inside Havana, which is now out of print. this new edition includes many of moore’s
older classic images but reconceives its predecessor with a new layout and finer, larger reproductions. Cuba also
features many older photographs never previously published, as well as new photographs made specifically for this
edition. the afterword was especially commissioned for this edition from orlando Luis pardo Lazo, one of Cuba’s
leading independent bloggers.
Working with a large format camera, moore insightfully records the shifting fortunes of Cuba, in superb photographs
full of painterly light and dynamic color. His images span a tremendous variety of subjects, ranging from humble interiors
to magnificent modernism, as well as portraits and landscapes. one theme introduced in this revised version
is the contrast between the frayed patinas of Cuban homes and the great, unspoiled beauty of the island’s nature. Cuba
is a stirring portrait of a country isolated from the globalized world, overflowing with its own remarkable riches.
the photographs of Andrew Moore (born 1957) are represented in the collections of the metropolitan museum of
art, the Whitney museum, Yale University art gallery, the museum of Fine arts Houston, the Library of Congress,
the Israel museum, the george eastman House and the Canadian Centre for architecture.

JR & José Parlá: The
Wrinkles of the City:
Havana Cuba
dAMIAnI/sTAndArd Press
Since 2004, the French artist Jr has traveled
the world flyposting colossal black-and-white
portraits of ordinary citizens on the walls of
city buildings. His most recent project, The
Wrinkles of the City, began in Cartagena,
Spain, where he photographed the city’s
oldest inhabitants, imagining their wrinkles
as metaphors of urban texture and history.
He has subsequently reprised the project in
Shanghai, China and Los angeles. In may
2012, Jr collaborates with american artist
José parlá on the latest iteration of The
Wrinkles of the City: a huge mural installation
in Havana, undertaken for the Havana Biennale,
for which Jr and parlá photographed
and recorded 25 senior citizens who had
lived through the Cuban revolution, creating
portraits which parlá, who is of Cuban
descent, interlaced with palimpsestic
calligraphic writings and paintings. parlá’s
markings echo the distressed surfaces of the
walls he inscribes, and offer commentary on
the lives of Cuba’s elders; together, Jr and
parlá’s murals marvelously animate a city
whose walls are otherwise adorned only by
images of its leaders. this volume features
the portraits, short biographies of their
subjects and photographs of their mural collaborations
painted around Havana. a film
documenting the project appears in 2013.
Based in paris, JR exhibits freely in public
sites in the cities around world. His projects
include Portraits of a Generation (2004–
2006), Face2Face (2007) and Women Are
Heroes (2008). In 2011 he was awarded the
teD prize.
José Parlá studied painting at the Savannah
College of art and Design in georgia, and
the new World School of the arts in miami,
and lives and works in Brooklyn, new York.
a recent project is a special commission for
the Brooklyn academy of music. His most
recent monograph is Walls, Diaries and
Paintings (Hatje Cantz, 2011).
