“I do not believe in
the ‘impartial objectivity’ of photography. In another sense,
a place, subject or topic can be seen in many different ways. The most
common way is from the outside in, resulting in the superficial point
of view of an “outsider”. The other way is from the inside
out, becoming a part of your topic or subject to try to arrive at the
center of what you want to say. This is the work of Jack Kenny.” |
“Jack Kenny’s
photographs are a compassionate window onto the everyday beauty and
longing of the Cuban people. Kenny takes us with him on his travels
around the island of Cuba, capturing the grace that hides out in humble
villages in the countryside and the street energy that literally explodes
throughout the city of Havana. We learn how life is lived in Cuba today,
with equal parts joy and uncertainty, and with the unending generosity
that is the hallmark of the Cuban spirit.” |
“What is most special
about Jack Kenny’s photographs is the way he has captured a striking
characteristic of Cuba: its sense of intimacy. Getting to know Cuba is
like being pulled into the warmth of a family. That shared intimacy --
between Cubans, between photographer and subject, between a Cuban and
his or her emotional and physical landscape -- is what is touching and
unusual about the people there. There are few barriers between “them”
and “us.” These photographs will make you want to be there,
in Cuba, with these enticingly direct people.” Sandra Levinson, Center for Cuban Studies, New York City |
