One of my favorites

Personally I love art cinema and watching movies of all kinds, so it is very difficult to choose a specific movie I like, I have many! 

The film I chose is based on Patricia Bosworth's biography of Diane Arbus: A Biography as a source. The plot of the film is a fiction that focuses on a specific period of the artist's life, which takes place in New York, 1958, where Diane Arbus is a housewife who works as an assistant to her husband, who is a fashion and advertising photographer. Her life is comfortable and quiet, until a new neighbor moves into the neighborhood and captures Diane's attention. The arrival of this man leads her to discover her own talent in photography and to transgress the customs of the time. I highly recommend this film, apart from being about one of my favorite photographs, the art direction is beautiful and matches the same mixed fiction story.

Favorite technological object

My favorite technological article, I would always say, is the photographic camera, since I was a little girl the photos and videos were always in my life, my parents love the photography and to keep memories through this one, I find wonderful the analogous process of the cameras, how the impression of the photo in the roll works, thanks to the amount of light that enters to the camera, the possibilities of photography that there are with different lenses, angles, illumination and how the process of impression of the negative to the photographic paper is carried out. I love the idea of being able to stop time and capture a specific moment with the camera, and when you see the image you are transported to that moment.

Because I chose the art

When I was little I always wanted to be a veterinarian, I remember that until I was 8-9 years old I didn't talk about anything else I wanted to be when I grew up, I also danced since I was 4 years old, so I imagined being a dancer at some point, especially when I started to be very interested in art in general, theater, painting and music, but I never saw it as a real option because of the situation of art in Chile. I was always good at math so architecture was my first option until I decided to do the basic cycle of my career while finishing high school average, it was in this instance that I fell in love with art, seeing other branches outside of painting, which is the most common and recognized as "art" I realized that I wanted to learn everything and decided to take the exam to enter the career, I have been 6 years in the career counting the basic stage and I still think it was the best decision. In the future I would like to work in various areas experimenting with art in different ways, for example restoring pre-Columbian textiles, art direction, curating in museums, being an independent artist and at the same time teaching what I know, being a teacher.
