Tylicki works in a wide range of media, including performance, installation, sound, video and painting. His thematic explorations are equally diverse, ranging from introspective studies of the human psyche to explorations of the interplay between nature and technology. Regarding the latter, Tylicki alludes to the demands of instantaneous reporting which have diminished the importance of the content of the image in favour of its ability to be rapidly published, accessed and exchanged. In this context, the status of the photographic and video image shifts from documentation to live testimony of an act. Tylicki's creations often challenge conventional notions of reality, leading observers to question the boundaries between the conscious and the subconscious. His artworks serve as a bridge between the known and the unknown, urging audiences to embark on a visual and emotional odyssey.

Across a multidisciplinary practice that incorporates installation, performance, video, sound, and painting, Adam Tylicki’s body of work is also widely variable thematically. From producing deeply introspective examinations of the human psyche to addressing the dichotomy and interrelation of nature and technology, Tylicki’s practice is broad-reaching. Considering the former, he addresses the way in which we consume media and information as rapid-fire and constant, in a system where meaning and content are no longer valued as highly as the rate at which it can be produced, disseminated, and ingested. Consequently, his engagement with photography and video as mediums is transformed from a static form of documentation to encompassing liveness, addressing a society that has been programmed to respond to maximalism and a constant turnover of information. Tylicki’s works encourage us to question our understanding of reality, the thin lines between consciousness and subconsciousness. He strives to turn our perception inwardly, to our emotional responses to the visual, and to consider both the knowable and unknowable, and where they might bleed into each other.
