Henry Witecki

Henry Witecki is a visual artist and writer whose practice involves the unpacking of phenomena from a state of fixity. Under the belief that there is no always already present quality of something to be wholly understood, Witecki reflects upon the vast number of perspectives and spaces from/in which people live in the world, as well as the complex formation of those individual perspectives.

Being cannot be measured and then reduced, that is, one truth as we seek it cannot be quantified such that it accounts for the various ways people use their bodies and the ‘things’ in the spaces they inhabit. When we perceive anything, it is at that moment that it comes into its present state of being, in that the qualities or characteristics you are sensing did not always already exist before you sensed them. They are conditioned by your perceiving them, and you are altered or conditioned by having sensed them in addition to everything else you have perceived to that point. It is through this always-occurring process of re-inscribing beings and phenomena in the world that they come into discourse, or what one might call the coalescence of a multiplicity of incompatible truths.
