Vincent Delbrouck: At the river, 2018, From the series La Vibora – Champú
The resulting series, titled ‘Champú’, conveys the photographer’s fascination for a time of life when anything seems possible – and shows a side of Cuba that goes beyond the country’s suffering. “They listen to music, to rap music – like my son,” Delbrouck explains. “They create this kind of family, they drink a diluted rum, called champù, they smoke a lot of cigarettes.” There is something universal about coming of age: Delbrouck’s subjects – Leslie, Oscar, Gabriela, Solanch, Addiel, Leonardo, Oris, Sharawi and Marcel – are yearning for the same experiences we all wanted at their age.
