Anita Witek’s artistic work focuses on our habitual ways of seeing. Taking the medium of photography as her starting point, she examines both our perception and the truth content of images and texts disseminated via mass media. Unforeseeable Occurrences is a series of photographic works that Witek began in 2020. The source material consists of fragments of popular science magazines from the 1980s, whose primary focus is on natural science and technology and debates on related topics. The historical issues selected by Witek centred on speculative visions of a future world, which encountered the unforeseeable present in the collages the artist made during the pandemic.
