He lives in Havana. He evokes in his photographs, his installations, his sculptures, the complex mind of this city imagined as sumptuous but now fragile and threatened by ruin. The artist builds a disturbed map, emotional, and critic not unlike the tradition of travel writers and landscape painters of the nineteenth century. It is in this mythical world that the works of Carlos Garaicoawere elaborated, Carta a los censor, proposed by Lorenzo Fusi, director of the Palazzo Delle Papesse Centro Arte Contemporanea in Siena, caught the attention of the Foundation's Jury of the International Prize of Contemporary Art 2005.
