The first publication dedicated to Agnès Varda’s photographic work features the series made in Cuba in 1963, two months after the missile crisis. Fascinated by the island’s mix of pure socialism and cha-cha-cha, she brought back thousands of photographs, planning to film and reanimate them with a rostrum camera. The book creates a tension between stills and moving images and includes archives of the film editing pages.
