La Tropical

Thematic Inhabiting Space Curated by Nancy Buirski

Reminiscent of La Buena Vista Social Club, but even more sensuous. Here the rhythm of a country—a place—is refracted through the sights and sounds of a nightclub where world-class dancers and musicians gather to entertain and celebrate in the energy of the working class. You cannot help but feel the heat and the motion of the swaying bodies and vibrant music and exult in the liberation that comes from the senses. This is a magical world captured in the provocative compositions of a pre-eminent photographer.
