Essay by Norberto Marrero Pírez

Fabricated in Spring 2011 Privacidad is the second in a series of three books in which Cuban artists frankly explore their social and political relationships–ideas developed during numerous meetings and conversations with the artists beginning in 2007. The first book Poder: Power was created in the spring of 2011 and  the third book Esperando: Waiting will be fabricated in 2012.

The journey to the Sublime

Personal life is silence, it is less harmful; just a hint of privacy would be enough for every dream to grow. Personal life is conciliation between two islands: the desire, and the consequences of that desire. Personal life is freedom.

Public life is the scandal, the tumult, the predatory gaze; the minute when every word and every gesture rules. Public life is power, and as such it causes outrage, vice, and bad habits . . .

When public life shouts, personal life sobs.

Privacy: where all questions have an answer. Or better yet: Privacy: no questions, no answers.

Norberto Marrero Pírez – April, 2011
