La libertad del inconsciente
Jorge Alberto Cadi
The “La libertad del inconsciente” exhibition at Havana’s Museum of Fine Arts (Cuba) features 30 works by Jorge Alberto Hernández Cadi (“el Buzo”).
Organized by Jorge Fernández Torres, director of the museum, with curatorial assistance and technical coordination from Ana María Fuentes Galeto, deputy director of cultural extension, this is Jorge Alberto Cadi’s first exhibition in his native country.
In the streets of Havana, everyone knows Jorge Alberto Cadi as « El Buzo » - the diver - because he’s constantly searching material for his works in the city’s abandoned objects. Boltanskian by his memorial use of photography, Warholian by his taste for stitching images together, Cadi always seeks to reveal what these photographs are hiding. Exhibited for the very first time in 2019 by the gallery, then in 2022 at Paris Photo, he was presented the same year in the 2nd part of Photo brut which, after the Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles, was hosted at the Centrale and the Botanique, in Brussels. His work is included in the collections of the Musée national d’Art moderne (Pompidou). In 2023, he was exhibited by Sophie Calle at the Musée Picasso.
