About
Gregor Petrikovič is a Slovak-British filmmaker and artist based in London. His work explores human connection and alienation in the era of digital disconnect, often drawing inspiration from his background in philosophy, photography, and movement. He completed an MA in Photography at the Royal College of Art as a Burberry Design Scholar and holds a BA in Philosophy from Durham University.
His films have been exhibited internationally, including International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (DocLab), Tate Late, Sónar Barcelona, Aesthetica Art Prize, the Athens Digital Arts Festival, and The Swiss Archive of the Performing Arts. He recently completed an artist residency at The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York. Gregor is developing his ongoing film Sincerely, Victor Pike, which received the Colección SOLO AI Award 2024, through the Film London’s FLAMIN Fellowship.
