Chip Cooper - Old Havana: Spirit of the Living City |
Old Havana: Spirit of the Living City artistically captures the
architecture, people, and daily life of La Habana Vieja (Old Havana)
through the lenses of two visionary photographers and colleagues, one
American and the other Cuban. Chip Cooper and Néstor Martí began
collaborating in 2008, documenting the picturesque features of the
oldest and most historically rich quarter in Cuba’s capital city at the
behest of Eusebio Leal Spengler, the historian of the city of Havana and
the director of the Habana Vieja restoration project. Cooper’s and
Martí’s images highlight the spirit of change and renewal underlying the
restoration of this international treasure and its revival as a vibrant
business and residential area.
Inspired by the work of twentieth
century American photographer Walker Evans, Cooper and Martí, through
perspectives both unique and deeply entwined, capture the humanity of
the city, in a language at once universal and transcendent.
