For me, the latrine is an object that represents a rather humble everyday life. They are quite common in the Cuban countryside, and my grandparents' farm and my parents' house are no exception. But what could be everyday for me in Cuba has a completely different relationship to this object in the German context and feels very distant, as if from past historical times. The latrine is a symbol of precariousness, underdevelopment, technological backwardness and, of course, a clear image of the pedestrian and scatological.
