I went to the Purple Weekend 2012 with a Holga to document some of what was going on there. This photo is from that series, taken on 120 mm film with the inexpensive plastic camera. For those who may not know, the festival was born as a mod/sixties weekender in the Spanish city of León and it has become something much bigger with the years.

The photo can be seen as part of the exhibitions programme of the Purple Weekend, quadruplicated and manipulated in a collaborative project with Eva López Campesino. “Purplephenia (I’ve had enough)” is now open at the Ateneo Cultural el Albéitar until 20th December.

My first time attending the festival was the year 2000 and though this time I won’t be able to attend I feel very happy my image will be there.
