MISHKA HENNER
Mishka Henner was born in Belgium and lives in the UK. His art challenges conventional perspectives and encourages viewers to reconsider their relationship with the world, technology, and the consequences of human activities.
Henner’s varied practice navigates the digital terrain to focus on key subjects of cultural and geopolitical interest. He often produces books, films, photographs, and sculptural works that reflect on cultural and industrial infrastructures, involving extensive documentary research combined with the meticulous reconstruction of imagery from materials sourced online.
