Marian III - Havana, Cuba, 2014

2014

About the Item

Serie "She is Cuba". In Cuba's forbidden allure, amongst the crumbling walls of colonial architecture, the abandoned cinemas and casinos, the streets of old Havana and all the glory that once was, we try to capture the twilight of the Castro era and the waiting for the inevitable. Havana Cuba 2014. Artist: Formento + Formento, British Title: Marian III Description: Marian flashing her bosom while she sits in a classic car with goats in the backseat Dimensions: photograph is 30 x 45 in Edition of 12 + 2 AP -- About the artist: Husband and wife duo BJ and Richeille Formento create cinematic, quasi-anthropological photographs. The couple began collaborating in 2005, uniting BJ’s experience in fashion and street photography with Richeille’s background as a fashion designer and art director. Their photographs span diverse topics—from the town of Gary, Indiana, to geishas in Japan—exploring the cultural and aesthetic implications of place through staged environments and saturated colors. The couple’s transition away from fashion photography resulted from an impulse to document certain characteristics of different cultures. “We wanted to capture the peculiarity, even idiosyncrasy, of Japanese culture before it is diluted beyond recognition through the influence of modernity,” Richeille has said about their work in Japan.
