About
Gregor Petrikovič is a Slovak-British artist and filmmaker based in London. His work operates at the intersection of film, photography, AI, and movement. Drawing inspiration from a background in philosophy, his practice explores themes of human connection and alienation in the era of digital disconnect.
He completed an MA in Photography at the Royal College of Art, where he was a Burberry Design Scholar. His films and artworks have been exhibited internationally at prestigious venues and festivals, including the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA DocLab), Late at Tate Britain, SOLO Contemporary, and Sónar+D Barcelona. He is also an alumnus of the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York.
Gregor is currently a FLAMIN Fellow at Film London, where he is developing his ongoing film, Sincerely, Victor Pike. The project recently received the Colección SOLO AI Award 2024.
