Wiktor
Bak

Wiktor Bak works with moving images, afterimages, impressions, gestures, stories and emotions embedded in them, recreating present intersections or generating new ones. He lives between Rome and Warsaw, occasionally in other places. In his recent works he addresses issues around socialisation, war, conflicts, memory and communication in the public sphere focusing on the physical space of architecture and nature with the psycho-social space of an individual or group of individuals. Based on his childhood memories he believes that aesthetic practice in the built environment contribute to critical discourse between the inhabitants themselves and the environment around them. What circumstances, what reality can provoke new communication and transgression of definitions or norms? He treats even a slight disruption of the perception and its complacency as a main tool to stop a viewer, to reflect and perhaps even change her/his/their thinking.
