Background information
"This book of photographs, 'Absolutely Cuba' by Raúl CAÑIBANO is a declaration of love to his homeland and contains a selection of his photographic work from almost three decades. His surprising, affectionate and exact look as well as his fast, instinctive and gripping intellect let him capture moments where seemingly everything is already known - in the very normal urban as well as rural everyday life."They all show themselves as they are, deliver themselves - even if they are not aware of it - to the gaze of Raúl CAÑIBANO in their complex existence, allow us to look inside them and thus reveal the human being in them. To concretize their image, the photographer only needs them and a bit of light. Nothing more, nothing less." (© Leonardo Padura Fuentes)
