Brigade is pleased to invite you to the opening of Cuba, Año Cero by Alejandro González.
Opening Thursday 22 October 17:00 - 20:00
Vesterbrogade 75, 1620 Copenhagen
The exhibition brings together two defining bodies of work, Re-construcción (2012) and Mega Proyectos (2014), in which González turns his camera to the architecture of ideological ambition in Cuba. The title is borrowed from Roberto Rossellini's Germania anno zero (1948), a film shot among the ruins of post-war Berlin. Transposed to present-day Cuba, "year zero" describes a condition that marks both an ending and an unwritten beginning.
Alejandro González' (b. 1974, Cuba) photographic practice explores individual freedom and structures of power, taking Cuba as its point of departure. Moving between portraiture, documentary and staged imagery, he attends to the stories and spaces that official narratives leave out.
