Destinos Posibles (Possible Destinations)

2009 - Film & Video (Film & Video)

Luis Garciga


In Destinos Posibles Garciga performs a service in Havana, Cuba by offering strangers in the streets a “ride” to wherever they are going for free, in exchange he demands that the passengers address the question “what do they want from life?” A poignant video within the context of the limitations the Cubans have in terms of choices, desires, fantasies, and longing.


Luis Garciga’s work and research since 2003 has been a journey attempting to redefine the invariant anthropologies that appear in less “global” contexts and communities. Art as service and registry, with levels of eccentricism are ideas and approaches that materialize in his videos and installations, mixing direct recording with fiction; applying often relational esthetics.
