Green Havana is a photographic series born in the period of the collective enclosure 2020-2021, a moment in which physical stagnation led us to look inward and activated our imagination. The series speaks of the possibility of a vintage and contemporary Havana, surreal and dreamlike, recreating the past to build the future. The series’ green suggests the range of black and white of television sets of the Caribe brand, produced in the Soviet Union and assembled in Cuba, which were part of the learning and audiovisual reference of every Cuban born in the second half of the twentieth century.

The images in Green Havana are photographs that resist being monochromatic, like the Caribe television sets, whose screens some Cuban families painted in color to trick that b/w vision and create some chromatic effect. Feal’s Havana is also like that: a place where the past is always present, a city stuck in time that needs to invert its colors to see it in a different way and that he continually finds in other cities of the world as Berlin, Barcelona, or Los Angeles.

Ultimately, it all depends on how you look at it.
