And soon I will be gone, she will be gone, he will be gone and the others too, and I don’t imagine there was ever an era before now when people were “gone” or “going” with such a frequency as they are now.

Questions surrounding how we act together lie at the core of Pawlak’s practice. She aims to design structures for reflexive navigation of how and why we conform to systems and what the possibilities of breaking with patterns might offer. Pawlak devotes much of her attention to ongoing practical research into the potential for critical distance in augmented reality and the brandscape through working with performance, installation, moving image and workshops. One day she hopes to stop speaking about herself in the third person.
