Audiovisual piece “HABANA TAXI” is a poetic narrative documentary short movie. The piece is built-up of chapters which are blended in a rhythm. Capturing, through a visual language, the “time of the Cuban people”. I started making portraits of the locals traveling in old cars. These pictures represented the time of Havana, in motion, in a state of change towards the unknown. Simultaneously, using the car frames as an image frame to the portraits. The music in the piece is played by the Havana Philharmonic Orchestra. Recording on a tape the Orchestra’s rehearsal. In addition, there is one Cuban national song by Bola de Nieve, a lullaby with which most children grew up.
In this piece, I mix sounds and portraits with other elements in order to bring a viewer closer to the locals’ vision of life in the Cuban capital. The photographs were made less than two months before Castros death.
