History

Name: Pauliina Salminen and Andrés Jaschek
Bio: Pauliina Salminen was born 1975 in Finland. She studied film and video at Turku School of art and communication.
Andrés Jaschek was born in Argentina in 1977. He studied in the Arts Academy of La Plata, Argentina.
Both artists decided to continue their studies in Marseilles, France, in 2000. After that, they both directed documentary films and did video installations. When they met in 2004, they found out their work had many things in common, such as exploring the realms of film and contemporary art, as well as dealing with themes like identity, boundaries, urban environment and its problematics. Their first work together was a video installation The land in the middle/La terre du milieu in 2005, and their most recent one is 2x 3 borders (2006-2007), a communitarian project and installation.
