Pavle Nikolić (b. 2001, Niš, Serbia) works with photography and video, examining
fundamental human tensions — authority and powerlessness, dominance and submission,
aggression and passivity. He investigates how these opposing forces interact, using the
constructive and transformative capacities of his chosen mediums to find the threshold at which
they begin to turn into one another. Pavle studied applied photography at the University of Applied Arts
in Vienna and fine art at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. He now lives and works in Paris.
