My future job

Definitely, i would like to have a job which I could love, because for me there is no reason at all to have one without a purpose. Even if a job is a medium for getting what one love, then it’s fine. What can not be (at least for me), is to job without any love, without any interest in it. So, I think I cannot say what will be my job, but I’m sure that it will be loved. I can imagine that in this future, I will woke up with energy in the morning, because I have to, and i want to, do something that I am interested in. I’m not interested in travelling, or making a lot of money, I just want to love my day to day, not experience the routine as a gray and boring experience. I need to keep studying, but I can not know where my interests are going to take me, so, I know I want to study a lot more, just can not know all the process before it happens. It’s all about following and developing my creative intuitions, and sharing this with other people. Of course, my interests in particular are linked to the conceptual problems of the good life and freedom, in a socio-theorical manner.

Never look away

 Well, i feel almost impossible to pick some favourite something, in movies especially, because there are so many good movies, that relate very different experiences and stories. Anyway, if I had to pick one, and certainly I have to, It would be "Never look away", a german film directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (also known for directing "The live of others", a very recognized german film), which I totally recommend it, in fact, i recommend both. I pick this one because is one of the last movies I saw that really really captivated me, it's about a german painter who lives and experiences the art in all versions of second world war Germany, he learns about art with his aunt, who is euthanized by the nazis because she was diagnosed with schizophrenia. The protagonist sees how art is conceived by the nazi Germany, later in the sovietic Germany, and finally, in the occidental Germany, where he can find his genuine artistic expression, following the teachings of his aunt. I like this movie because tell us about the different ways in which the different versions of Germany conceive art and culture, and how the protagonist has to find himself against this different contexts, trying to express through his paintings. I think that my favourite kind of movies are the kind that tell us something about humanity, art, technology, or something about me, about anyone, that touches universal human experiences. And both of this films from von Donnersmack make this with maestry.

Jorge Drexler’s 12 segundos de oscuridad concert

 

In september 2007, the uruguayan singer-songwriter Jorge Drexler performed his album “12 segundos de oscuridad” in Chile. Definitely, his darkest work, charged with the bitter feelings of a recent heartbreak, a divorce the artist went through. Even if this album is the saddest, or darkest yet, I deeply feel that “12 segundos de oscuridad” could be Drexler’s masterpiece. It took place in the Caupolicán theatre, in Santiago de Chile. I went with my dad, who brought Drexler’s music into my life. Drexler’s music is some kind of remix that takes latin-american folk, pop and alternative music. “12 segundos de oscuridad” is his 10th studio album, and implies a gloomy moment of his artistic expression, the rest of his carreer, before and after this album, his music tends to be more cheerful, but always with some sad tone. I will always remember how he play with the darkness and the lights in the scenario, he really made a dense and sad atmosphere, which could capture the concept of the album. I felt really connected with the feelings, I don’t know exactly why, but I was absorbed in the sensations evoked by the music and the illumination. Also, I remember that the seat organization was a mess, so when we arrive at our place it was already taken by some people, we were reassigned and ended up in a much better location than the original. It was a resonant experience.
