This portrait of me was taken by photographers Ximena y Sergio as part of an exhibition of photographs of artists who had presented work in Naves Matadero, Madrid.
I had set up my automatic version of Siren in their main space and quite frankly I was totally exhausted. I was preparing for a live performance of the work with break dancers Miguel Ballarín, Elihú Vázquez, Miguel Mateos, Ventura Díaz and Xak. I had a limited amount of energy left. Ximena y Sergio were great, taking great care over creating a series of images of me in and amongst my installation. However, I have no memory of them taking this image. When I first saw it I was slightly shocked by the sight of an old man sitting at a harmonium. The more I see it now I appreciate it as a rather amazing photo, painterly in a slightly El Greco way….
