Joe has been travelling to Cuba since 1992; he has grown very fond of the largest of the Antilles islands and its capital, Havana. The series published here shows a Havana ‘backstage’.
In “Terminal”, Joe allows the glassy-metallic, partly futuristic architecture of international airports to merge with the streamlined, rather organic-looking object of the airplane. At the same time, he captures the tension of people waiting to be taken away to another world, creating a symbol of the metamorphosis from local resident to traveler.
