A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Biography
Patryk Wilk constructs perceptual stress tests — installations and video works that isolate the viewer in moments of psychological threshold, where the body registers what the mind has not yet processed. His practice is a form of applied attention, borrowing from behavioral science and institutional critique to turn exhibition spaces into controlled environments for observing human response under pressure, where individual reaction becomes a reflection of larger social conditions.
