This is a superbly illustrated overview of the work of Cuban artist Carlos Garaicoa. Carlos Garaicoa belongs to a generation of artists emerging from Cuba, whose multi-faceted practice and challenging works weave a line between sculpture, photography, drawing, video, installation, and urban interventions. "Overlapping" documents his continuing exploration of the importance of architecture as a means to deconstruct the complexity of the socio-political and historical narrative of a city. In his work, the city acts as a metaphor not only for the nature of the human condition but as an allegory of the failure of 20thC ideologies. Fascinated by urban planning and a city's architectural social fabric, Garaicoa often illustrates his vision in large installations using various materials such as crystal, wax candles and rice-paper lamps.
