The Revolution Revisited is a solo show by Paolo Gasparini, with two series of photographs taken between 1960 and 1990.

The exhibition presents two moments in the photographer’s relation with Cuban reality, marked by decades spent under a single party in power. Havana was one of the Latin American sites on which the photographer focused his attention the most, at a time when he had acquired a definite maturity, not only in terms of style, but also of ideology. Just as Cuba forms a chapter in the photographer’s work, Gasparini forms a chapter of his own in the history of Cuban photography. This show, conceived as a concise visual essay, confronts two moments in Cuba’s contemporary history: the time of revolution and the time of decadence. In parallel, the exhibition is configured as a narrative about photography’s relationship with time and memory.
