Art

Anita Witek studied painting at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and received an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art in London. After living in London for six years, the artist is now based in Vienna, where she lives and works.

Her artistic practice is rooted in site-specific installations as well as the techniques of collage and photomontage. She explores our habits of seeing and questions the truthfulness of images. By revealing the hidden aesthetic and ideological layers of the source material, she simultaneously creates new, independent visual narratives and embeds them in a contemporary context.

Witek’s works have been exhibited at institutions including the Lentos Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade (MoCAB), the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus (Ohio), the Leopold Museum in Vienna, the Fotomuseum Winterthur, and Somerset House in London.

She has been awarded the Austrian Art Prize for Photography, the Federal Grant for Fine Arts, and the Graphic Art Prize of the City of Vienna. She also held artist-in-residence positions in London and at ISCP in New York.

Her works are part of numerous collections, including mumok Vienna, the Albertina, Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Lentos Museum Linz, Landesmuseum Joanneum Graz, Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum Innsbruck, TBA21–Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas.

Witek’s works are currently on view at mumok Vienna in the exhibition "The World of Tomorrow Will Have Been Another Present".
