(May. 08) The possible, talked-over and many times established dichotomies between journalism and literature are swept away with a flash-light by Kaloian Santos Cabrera in his exhibit “50 times 
Forged the way of the daily newspaper Juventud Rebelde, he has known how to look for the short-lived in what is relevant, and the transcendent in everyday life.Kaloian comes to be that sort of rare avis's in journalism, since his words have also the graphic support, with a master complicity who makes sure an image is worth a thousand words.
The ones doing journalism, including those of the audiovisual world, can hardly notice the borders and the lack of visual perspective, while making the news. But Kaloian finds the significance in what the visible, in what is evident, but tinged in an aesthetic way.
Cuban flags play the lead role in different circumstances found by this photographer-journalist, with a prominence that surpasses lances, parades or crowded concentrations.
It is not common to find symbolism associated to a flag attenuated by ideology or history. Cuban idiosincracy emerges in the shape of banners, hanged from the necks of elementary-school students, in taxi bikes, in a simple chipped wall or linked to that so remote sea and protector.
Thousands of words would be able to enclose, perhaps, the intention to define those colors that stay in our idiosyncrasy, but fifty pictures go father, to the nourishing nation's confluence, where Cubans took shelter for the sake of the ones we loved.
The flag Cuban, despite epoch or country, has its own history. And backing all of us, we may not see it sometimes, but it will never slip by unnoticed. It has such an important history not to be seen and its simplicity is a true transparency translated in an obliged reverence.
Kaloian achieves his purpose highlighting one more time that essential things exist.
