Sequence 1

 

I am Paco, José Luis Dias’ son, TV repairman with a family tradition, in MANLEU.

MAN - LEU  /  MAN - LLOC

My father is of rock, a fan of BARTOK.

Every evening, I hear him in his workshop, tearing his hair over his color adding and subtracting machines,

matter of cathode-ray tubes, flow of photons that don’t feet where they should.

I usually count with numbers, I don’t count with lights, ... he does.

At lunch, he often tells us: “Color is my business, but I haven’t achieved anything yet.”
