Childhood memories from the other side of the water

"In Childhood Memories from the Other Side of the Water, artist Eduardo del Valle depicts experiences and recollections of the first ten years of his life in Cuba, from 1951 until 1961, when he left the country of his birth, never to return. Over the past nine years, del Valle has made images that are central to his reminiscences and which portray painful aspects of his childhood that have stayed with him throughout his life and career. These memories of Cuba come together to form an outstanding visual autobiography"--Publisher's description.

From the ground up
Rare Books
These are not tragic pictures. They do not condemn consumer culture or show the limitations or emptiness of globalization. They show, rather, the vigorous, touching and continuing permutation of an ideal, that of home.
