    This is Life of a Star, a performance I did in Denmark (http://www.et4u.dk) in which I impersonated a celebrity and I was surrounded by fake bodyguards and fans. This is a piece about celebrity culture and it questions issues surrounding self-perception, obsessions with celebrity and stereotypes. Video editing by Adrian Shephard. See my other Life of a Star performances on www.emiliatelese.com Below is the documentary of "Transmit" a performance at the Festival for Experimental Art and Performance in St Petersbourg, Russia, in 2001. Transmit is a biofeedback soft machine made by Adrian Shephard of Testcard in collaboration with Malcolm Buchanan Dick. Transmit in Russia was performed by Emilia Telese, with costumes by Daniela Corcio. I also performed Transmit in Dresden, Germany, with glasses by IC! Berlin.

About me:

I am an Italian artist based in the UK. Born in Italy, in 1973. My family has its roots in the towns the Campania and Apulia region of Italy. After a BAhons degree in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence in 1996, I moved to the UK in 1997. My practice spans several art forms, from interactive and body-responsive technology, film and live art toinstallation, writing and public art. My concerns are with non-verbal communication, political and social issues and the questioning and deconstruction of social clichés. I have exhibited worldwide since 1994, including work at Ars Electronica, ZKM, the Venice Biennale and the Freud Museum. Alongside my practice as an artist, I also work as Artists' Networks Coordinator for a-n The Artist Information Company and as a freelance art writer and trainer in artists' survival skills. http://www.emiliatelese.com
