I gave Eva the gift of a small laboratory that she installed on the ground floor of our house. So that is how I started taking pictures. We are talking about some ten film rolls in two or three years. Later on, I started taking black and white portraits with a 90mm lens. To take them, I use a soft light that disguises reality and idealizes it. Perhaps, this was not my intention, but it is the result of going repeatedly to a means that works. I do not remember making decisions about the composition. Well, I was at very close range. With these portraits, I began to understand how a film is pulled together. They are people that I know. The best work like mirrors. Some are premonitory. Little by little, I came to terms with myself. I do not always have money for film rolls. This fact has definitely marked my way of working. I take few photos.

I wanted to videotape a place that I had photographed other times, a negative space in the port area in Vigo. The underworld. The idea of starting with the frozen image is a certitude that happened unexpectedly in bed. The sound produced by the generator and the reverberation that remains after it has been turned off is important. I heard the title early in the morning while in a twilight sleep when I spent the night at the home of a friend who loves documentaries about parallel realities. The Hum. The sound caused by vibrations from the galactic centre. I sat up, stopped the video and knew immediately that this would be the title of this piece.

Apertura. La imagen de la mañana como la de un reinicio, una apertura.

Opening. A man sits looking at the horizon and knows that he is dead.

Drugs eject you into strange places. The morning image is that of a reboot, an opening. A man sits looking at the horizon and knows that he is dead.

I spent some wonderful months in Berlin. Every weekend, two steps from home, I slipped some coins in my pocket to go to the K19 concert hall in Kreutzigerstrasse. Who played was not important. Noise. Hardcore Punk. One of those times, I took a small mini DV camera and recorded the end of a Leipzig band concert, FCKR. The result of that recording is this short document.
