Michael Eastman’s Havana - Fading glory of hidden Caribbean gem...

Into this world of extravagantly-finned sedans and flamboyant architecture dives photographer Michael Eastman in his collection Havana. This is a world of faded glory, crumbling grandeur and decaying prosperity. The seized homes of the former ruling elite stand as flaking metaphors to the once opulent, now somewhat down-at-heel nation, beautifully captured by the self-taught American. Take a peeling pastel nostalgia trip with a selection of Eastman’s images at London’s Michael Hoppen Gallery, Jubilee Place, throughout February and March this year.
