Perzyński's work focuses on the question of art's interdisciplinary character including the philosophies of communicative action, social pragmatism, and individual invention. He has worked with installation art since 1978, and in 1990, began working with sound, video, sensors and body-based interactivity. Over the last 30 years, he has produced paintings, drawings, installation, and sound and video projection works that often include architectural settings. These works and newer pieces have been presented in Argentina, Brazil, China, Germany, Greece, Israel, the Netherlands, Poland, Thailand, New Zealand, and the United States.
