Marc Henry investigates the mutable nature of reality in our post-factual age, with a particular focus on digital image manipulation. His multidisciplinary background, which includes studies in economics and curatorial fields, informs his engagement with societal systems, macroeconomics, and political themes, enriching the conceptual layers of his work.
