About Me

While studying for a Degree and MSc in Geology, Pauliana (born in Lisbon, 1975) traveled a lot, staying for at least one month in each country (Tibet, Burma, India, Mali, Egypt, Iran, Japan, East-Timor...) looking around, talking with people, discovering herself. Since her first travel to Tibet at 18 years-old, she started to take photos, mainly portraits, trying to capture that unravelled part of of each person, of each culture. In 2000, a Workshop with David Alan Harvey in Lisbon, was the click towards a new and more conscious approach to photography. Since then, several workshops, with D.A.Harvey, Amy Arbus, Bob Sacha, Andrea Pistolesi, Alex Majoli and Erich Lessing, guided her through her own photographic path. In 2003 and 2004 she took photojournalism courses at CENJOR (Portuguese Journalists Syndicate). In 2005, a 3 month advanced course at Gulbenkian Foundation, with A.Bircher, J.Fontcuberta, P.Faigenbaum, P.Wombell, S.Shore, T.Hubbard, T.Demand and U.Eskildsen, brought her to a deeper contact with artistic photography. During the last five years, several individual and colective exhibitions, as well as several published photoessays at the major portuguese magazines (Grande Reportagem, Público, Visão, Cais, Notícias Magazine, Expresso), marked her career both as a debuting artist and a free-lancer photojournalist. Her present work deals mainly with the relation of individual persons with their status, either at public performances, back-stage moments or daily domestic life.

Influences:Yeti Project started in 2006, gathering Portuguese musicians from different places like Berklee College of Music and the Amsterdam and Rotterdam Conservatories of Music. The first concert took place at the Out Jazz Festival in Sudoeste. They started to work as a band right after this. Everyday they work on new songs and we try to play as much as we can together, always looking for new places where we can show our music. Their influences come directly from the new jazz scene as well as from the mix with pop, rock and traditional Portuguese music. To check their music and concerts: www.myspace.com/yetiproject.What is Nyma laughing off? Or what is Samantha doing with Pinky, at a narrow and cosy bar in Lisbon’s night? They’re giving pleasure to the eyes and fire to imagination. Every night, they go down the stairs to “Finalmente” (“at last”) – so it’s called for decades this “bar of perdition” - assuming the voices of star singers, the gestures of women they’ll never be, the “glamour” God gave them by someonelse’s character. In front of the stage, between glasses and cigarettes, the surrounding whispering reveals passionate confessions, impermanent loves and fugacious moments to the ending night. Among the lovers of the art of travestying, are usually journalists, teachers, cultural agents, famous people of the meanwhiles…Telepathique is a band that only a city like São Paulo could create. A melting pot of sounds and electronic grooves from the 21st century. Their first album Last Time on Earth is a toast to life, a passive/aggressive sound contaminates us on the dance floor. With their feet in Europe, Telepathique bring a message of electronic miscegenation, on stage they are like a hip hop duo with one dj and singer, always connecting with the public and transmitting tremendous energy. Mylene is not a mc but sings the Funk Carioca (the favela´s Funk) like one; Periférico plays the turntables like a punk drummer and the drums like a techno dj. Mixing in their sound the flavour of jungle music as well as house music, Telepathique's first successfull European Last Time on Earth Tour show us an entertainment group with roots on the dance floor and the horizon on the future soundsystem, never forgetting the present, with their electro and breakbeat.ARTIST´S LIFE (Work in Progress)
