Lot Essay

This work is number 9 from the sold-out edition of 10.

In his forward to Havana, Eduardo Luiz Rodriguez writes: 'Polidori's photographs are paradoxically beautiful and require a particular sensitivity to understand the intrinsic magic, mystery, and beauty in what is apparently ugly, openly decaying, and potentially lost. They are a challenge to recover reality from nostalgia, to not lose memory.' (p.11)
