LACTOSOY (video), 2014. Technical Specifications: HD MPEG-2 TS Runtime: 2:07 Color Presentation Text: Food products sold in national currency in Cuba lack quality. However, it is the only alternative to a large part of population without economic resources. From a reflection on the issue of feeding in Cuba, Lactosoy explores social inequalities in a country where differences between social classes have recently worsened. Through the use of commercial advertising´s language, Lactosoy also refers to different aspects of the debate on Cuban identity. However, the ambiguity of the discourse and the lack of referents in a country where there is no advertising, to generate an equivocal space that does not avoid controversy and aims to open the debate.
