the not dream job


 “I wanna be a grown up to can drink beer and smoke cigarettes. To spend my days lying in bed and getting paid for do nothing”
My 6 years old sister.

When I was a child I never had a dream job, mostly because I never considered anything like a job, or maybe because from the bottom of my heart I know that I wasn’t born to work. But I can say that I wanted to be a fireman or a doctor, is it true… who cares.

Before now I had two options for dedicate my life to achieve one dream by studying a career. And I actually took them... both. I studied two things before this thing that I study now. I didn’t like them so, here I am. I could say that I really like those careers but, study it is not my thing, so I prefer comtemplate them from the distance.

We can agree and say that love is not precisely the word that describe my feelings for being at the university. But in a unprecedented event, after 10 years, I continued studying… at the university, the same one. Please kill me.

Just for clarifying my madness I can say that I only continue studying because I felt old and I don’t wanna work, more accurately I felt that I gonna be unemployed, so I kept at classes. Best strategy.

Eventually, when I finish this thing in the near future, for being in tune with my child self, I would like to have any job, of any kind. I still don’t wanna work. The life would be thrilling if I just had to worry on living it and spend time at home.

An image where I'd like to go.

It has always been in mind to travel to a distant place. To a vast steppe. No hills around, not in the distance, not even beyond the horizon. Something like a desert, but a freezing cold desert with not so bright white light, with a tint of blue, diffused for the thick layer of dark grey clouds and cover for a harsh brown grass carpet. I’d like to visit a place like that not to see the view, but to feel the wind. It should be strong, cold and dry. In my mind I walk through the grass with a stool in my hand and a mug in the other, I took a place in the middle of the steppe, and stay there, staring while I drink tea. When I think in that place I’ve always thought in Tierra del Fuego, a distant island at the end of the world, where after the european invasion, the colonization, the Selk'nam genocide and the hunt of every animal in the land there is nothing more than grass and wind. There is no more else than the land itself. In a less poetic way (or maybe not) a place like th...

my "professional" information in a plot twist

–First I would like to say that if you read my entry "my red convertible Porsche" you will already know that this thing that I'm doing in this institution  don't represent my interests. Or maybe should say: if you read that entry you will know that  I'm quite doubtful. In that entry I said that I should stick to my original plan, so now I'm trying to bend my destiny and  do what was undo.– I have a Design degree with focusing in Industrial Design and currently I'm a student in the Dance program of the Arts Faculty in Universidad de Chile. At the end of my first degree I started thinking in a way of transform the disciplinar field I was told I should perform my professional knowledge and add to it my own perspective and interests. I decided not to take to an end my final project and pospone my residence, with the aim of going out and pursuit new places and disciplines where I could insert myself. The plan A was: ask for a working holiday visa ...

aitor throup studio

I'm a visual thinker so my references always have been on that side of the creative spectrum. Sometimes I really wonder if I found another interest rather than the visual appreciation in the dance. I know more architects and more fashion designers than dancers or choreographers. Sometime ago searching information for I don't remember what I reached the website of a british fashion designer, Aitor Throup. More than his designs I found really interesting the way he develops his creative process and specifically how he is able to manage his time despite the timing of the industry. Aitor throup is a multidisciplinar platform that explore how different techniques can be apply to the research and design of new fashion objects. This translates in the embrace of a new way of understand the process and breaks the pressure and the need of the fashion industry for present a show/collection at least twice a year. Instead his work present  a serie of patterns, prototype...
