Seven tapestries rest on the floor of the old cold store of Matadero Madrid. They represent some of the signatures of former shops of Havana with evocative names such as The Fight, Thought, No Rival Or Queen. Texts that can be read usually on the roads of this port city and on which Carlos Garaicoa (Havana, 1967) works altering its original meaning to others such as It's Everyone's Fight, or The Queen Destroys or Redeems.

Siete tapices descansan sobre el suelo de la antigua cámara frigorífica de Matadero Madrid. Representan algunas de las firmas de antiguos comercios de La Habana con nombres evocadores como La Lucha, Pensamiento, Sin rival o Reina. Textos que pueden leerse habitualmente en los suelos de esta ciudad porteña y sobre los que Carlos Garaicoa (La Habana, 1967) interviene alterando su significado original por otros como La lucha es de todos, o Reina destruye o redime.
