CCCC

by Luc Chessex, Daniel Girardin (Editor)

Luc Chessex lived in Cuba and Latin America from 1961 to 1975. As a photographer for ‘Cuba International’ magazine and a permanent member of the National Cultural Committee, he was an active witness to Fidel Castro’s rule. Committed to his work, but also free and critical, Chessex produced a number of reportages during those defining years in Cuban history. The omnipresent images of the revolutionary climate of the time feature prominently in his photographs, which fascinatingly document everything from its figureheads and street scenes, to Coca-Cola ads and the Cuban people themselves. Includes a text and interview with Chessex by Daniel Girardin.
Book is in French and English.
