"This half-hour of Cuban video is all very recently produced, most of them through “Evolucion Estipulada”, a workshop project and exhibition I was involved in. It is not chosen among the mainstream of Cuban contemporary art, but represents a group of contacts I have developed during several stays in Cuba and through my close co-operation with Cuban artist Alexis Parra (Pucho). The works presented have in common an interest in Cuban daily life and culture along with a certain critical attitude. The works are produced with very simple technical means, video and sound are mostly recorded with the video function on digital still cameras." Kristin Bergaust,
