In recent years, Havana has become famous all over the world for the gloomy charm of its flaking facades - a curious blend of magic and decay - and romanticized in countless Hollywood films and documentaries. The beauty of this city lies in the poetry of its ruins. But these ruins are far less poetic, however, for the people who inhabit them. Houses frequently collapse causing fatalities. The decay of the city and its living quarters is a never-ending source of both danger and shame for its residents. I tried to tell the story of the inhabited ruins of Havana and their strange blend of magic and decay and capture the final moments of these buildings before they're renovated - or simply collapse altogether. The days of all of these ruins are, in a sense, numbered. Regime change will come and with it an increase of urban renewal and restoration. This is a unique historical moment, which may be out of reach in just a few years.
