Krzysztof Pastuszka
Krzysztof Pastuszka is a visual artist and creative engineer. He focuses on the complexity and tension in transition by giving voice to his experience growing up as a trans kid in the late 90s. He uses mechanisms to create a multitude of parts dependent on one another to concentrate on movement and the interplay between objects to envision the intricacies of change and the necessity of components cooperating to create transformation. He uses motion to expose all the micro-operations and mental acrobatics involved in navigating the unchanging nature of cisnormativity. His work develops a trail of survival blueprints archiving the unseen essence of his trans experience creating an artifact of his history.
Krzysztof received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts; he recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from NYC College of Technology and is a patented designer and machinist. His work has been exhibited at Elisa Contemporary Art gallery, the New York Design Center, the Affordable Art Fair, and Visual Arts Gallery in NYC
