Moods of La Habana - Starphotograph Robert Polidori wirft in faszinierenden Bildern einen ungeschönten Blick auf und hinter die bröckelnden Fassaden der kubanischen Hauptstadt. Begleitet von originaler kubanischer Musik zwischen tiefer Melancholie und ungezügelter Lebensfreude begegnet der Betrachter in Gesichtern, Architektur und Musik dem authentischen Havanna und damit der Seele Kubas.

New Yorker photographer Robert Polidori traveled to New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina to record the destruction. His photos documenting the paradoxically beautiful wreckage are mementos for those who could not return-mapping their lives through the remains of their belongings and their homes.

Parcours Muséologique Revisité is Robert Polidori’s attempt to visually portray aspects of historical revisionism as seen through various stages of the restoration of the Palace of Versailles. What does it really mean to restore a room? Is it about the precise duplication of something which is now showing the wear and tear of its age, to renew it and make it again as it once was? Or does it involve entirely redefining the room’s epidermis to a completely different state, a state that it may once have had in an earlier epoch? The curatorial decisions that control this process reflect a political will and esthetic tastes which have altered over the period of the restoration. Photographed over a period of 25 years, the transient and temporary situations which the labors of these restorations afford, present temporal paradoxes that engage layers of history and power.

Robert Polidori is known for his large format photographs of habitats and rooms saturated with the traces of human intervention. In Eye and I , he turns the lens around to reveal the portraits of people he has encountered in his work of more than years photographing around the world, particularly in the Middle East and India. These instantaneous portraits of mutual recognition reveal the photographed subject and the photographer intersecting with each other in a fleeting moment of mutual regard.

Featuring a profile of the photographer Robert Polidori, this title is a collection of his architectural photographs.
