About Me

Peruvian living in Germany, already 8 years. In the past years I´ve also lived in the Amazon and in New York. I´m currently living in Frankfurt, finishing my master.

I’m a pretty easy going person. I really enjoy cooking. I read a lot, mostly philosophy and poetry. Wine is a great gift given to humanity, so why not celebrate it? I enjoy good movies and to share stories and thoughts with new people.
Spontaneity is kingly play.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Pretty open. From old Latin American music (boleros), cumbia, indie, jazz, some german trap to modern techno and classical music... But I would say my main interest lies in ambient compositional music, experimental music, as well as in film compositions (Hildur Gudnadóttir, Max Richter, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ben Frost, Hans Zimmerman, Angelo Baladamenti, and so on).

Movies:
Bergman, Tarkovski, Lynch, Polanski, Kieślowski, Zulawski, Aronofsky, Borwoczyk, Casssavettes, Truffaut, Hitchcok, Godard, Noé, Resnais, Herzog, Fassbinder...
I´m pretty much into movies (directors) thanks to psychoanalytic theory.
I really really enjoy movies from directors of the Polish cinema of moral anxiety (and post-war Polish art in general).

Books:
Rimbaud, Lautréamont, Bukowski, Vallejo, Borges, Blanchot, Bataille, Baudelaire, Sade, Fante, Sacher-Masoch, Mishima, Berger, Rilke, Pizarnik, Bolaño, Kundera, Heraud, Ribeyro, Garcia Lorca, Wojaczek, Machado, Hernandez, Büchner, Bryce Echenique, Eielson, Miller...

I grew up reading french symbolists and peruvian poetry.

I love Francis Bacon’s paintings.
