THE COFIÑO LIMOUSINES

The Cofiño family has a wonderful restaurant and they also have cows. Cows that graze in the different meadows of the town of Valdáliga. The Cofiños are loved, and so are their cows. They were my companions in confinement. When you look at them you end up seeing something human, as in the photo of the four of them, in which you no longer know whether they are cows or the teenage gang of the village. In a moment you go from feeling like the dominant host to the strange intruder. It's a world of cows and you are the animal. You stare at them and they stare at you very intently, with attention and curiosity, and study your movements, and you study theirs.

Then you go home and you regain your condition and they regain theirs. Everything returns to its dimension. You are back in your comfort zone. You will always have the echo of the cowbells in the valley. You close your eyes and you are once again the different animal in a world of cows, with their slow movements, their fur in the sun, the noise of rumination and their penetrating looks.
