Congratulations Christian Mushenko for being selected for Lurzer’s Archive: 200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide 23/24. What an incredible career highlight!

As a commercial photographer, Christian strives to create evocative imagery that makes you feel something and relates to the human experience. His project, Domnatio Memoriae falls into that category and it's an achievement for Lurzer's Archive to acknowledge this.

Domnatio Memoriae was a personal project shot in Havana, Cuba, created as part of The Series Project 2023. It captures the essence of a crumbling society, contrasted with the Cuban people's metaphorical richness of spirit that belies their hardship.

Christian Mushenko recently travelled to Havana, Cuba to shoot his latest project. It is a story of passion, decay, and a spirit that can't be broken.

Introducing, DOMNATIO MEMORIAE - A Tale of Love and Loss

How many of us have questioned: "Is this the life we really want to live?"

Cuba showed me that instead of numbing ourselves, we could let passion be our guide.

The buildings in Havana allude to the decay of its civilisation; like a metaphor for the burden her people bear. But to let ruin one part of your soul is to let another shine brighter to compensate.

The Cuban people have a richness of spirit that belies the hardship.

A contrast that is played out in the daily choice of life over death - richness over decay.
