I’m not really planning to study after I graduate, at least not in the traditional way. This will sound a little bit strange, but I think all these years inside the art school are like my post graduate studies. Don’t get me wrong, I love studying arts and everything around it, but I feel I’ve spent too many years learning different kinds of things and I think it’s time to stop, take a break and do anything else I want. My life at the university started way before this on the opposite side of the art world. For almost four years I was a student (a bright one tho) at the engineering school where numbers and binary codes ruled all the aspects of my life (and my mind). After a while I decided to make a radical choice and get away from that path to be something else. Now I’m in my last year at art school and I just want to go outside and work on my dreams without the need to spend so much time and money for a few pounds of knowledge. Of course I’m always learning new things and always will ...

I've always been thinking about what kind of job I will love to have in the near future. A bunch of years ago when I was studying engineering my dream job was to be some sort of a leader in a big company where everyone was happy and full of money. I know it sounds like the classic cliché but at that time I was blindfolded by all the pressure from the people around me and I was ok with it. Luckily enough I managed to scape from that nightmare haha. Now I'm in the last few months at the university and finally it's the time where I can really think about what I want to do in the years to come. Obviously almost all the options I'm thinking of a dream job are related to the art world. I would like to be someone who can bring artists and people together across all the universe. Work at a museum or an art gallery would be nice, but actually non-traditional art platforms are at this moment my  favourite option. I don't really mind about how money I can get as long as the jo...

Most people may not know Jacques Tati. He was a French actor, director and screenwriter born in 1907. Like Charles Chaplin or Buster Keaton, Jacques was an incredible physical comedy performer, also known as slapstick. The cool thing about Jacques is that he starred, wrote and directed all of his films.   I got into his filmography during the pandemic when I was at home trying to watch something new when suddenly I fell in love with the miniature of Playtime. I didn’t know anything about Jacques Tati or what the movie was about, but thankfully I gave it a chance. The plot of the movie is simple: Monsieur Hulot has an important meeting but he gets lost among all the buildings and people living in a futuristic and hyper-consumerist Paris. It’s a beautiful comedy about confusion in modern times with a ton of scenes that will make you laugh and think about this era full of technology and people running from one place to another.  Watch Playtime on Amazon Prime or Mubi, I promise y...
