Gregor Petrikovic
Gregor Petrikovic is a Slovak artist and filmmaker based in London. His video installations convey stories about the embodiment of love, grief, and the passage of time using performance, dance, and audio archives acquired from everyday interactions. Some feature narratives drawn from a large personal audio archive, such as phone calls and everyday interactions. In these, voices of friends, lovers, and strangers battle with the condition of alienation in a society defined by parasocial digital relationships
Gregor Petrikovic has exhibited work at Brussels Independent Film Festival, Belgium; Swiss Archive of the Performing Arts, Switzerland; and Oberhausen International Film Festival, Germany, among others.
