Profile

Born in 1939 in Fulton, NY, USA.

‘I am a late life artist. Like so many older artists I was for many years a hobbyist.Later, I began taking photographs and making small videos for friends who includedthem in their publications, gallery and museum shows. As an increasingnumber of these works, were published or shown in public spaces, I devoted moretime and effort to imaging.’
  
  
Current Projects
 London Streets
 A local photographic project that uses an ordinary pocket digital camera to capture the excitement and diversity of the cities streets using a camera more common to tourists than photographers. This project is about 8 months old.
  
 Happy ‘Enry Prologue
2005 - 2007A conceptual project of music and video and still images done in collaborationwith the composers Claudio Leisse and Andrea Santini. The videos, developed over a period of two years, were based on music conceived with each composer working separately, in a game of Cadavre Exquix. where each artist worked alone, building piecemeal, a complete musical work. During a chance meeting at the Jazz Café in 2004, I was invited by one of the composers to interpret one of of the six pieces visually. Later, we decided to animate the entire work with still or video images. We met for the first time to review the project in January 2007. This project is finished. 
  
 La Poesia di un Abbandono ( The Poetry of Abandonment )
 A video, sound and still photographic project, shot in Venice, about the loss of religious and metaphysical faith. The project is in the final stages at this time.
  
 Time Warp
since2006A sound and video meditation on the passing of time inspired by the writings of Heraclitus, Augustine, Gianbattista Vico and Henri Bergson. I am in the initial stages of recording individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds speaking about time and memory. I especially seek-out those who speak endangered European dialects.
  
 Videos
since 2004In 2004, during the months of November and December, we traveled with the poetsCecilia Vicuña and Jerome Rothenberg through Chile, Argentina, Uruguay andBrazil. To date, the trip has resulted in a documentary, Bar Rapa Nui, about an encounterbetween indigenous Mapuche poets and the American and Chilean poets;and a conceptual video, Dunes, based on a performance by the poets on thesand dunes overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Several other videos are in the works. 
  
 Portraits of Resistance
since 2001A Multi-media project, which attempts to archive portraits, interviews and relatedworks of cultural resistance of political resistors from the UK and the USA. Althoughthe major focus is on digital still photography, video and sound are used ina supportive role to give a visual context to the demonstrations from which theportraits are drawn and to exhibit other works related to the cultural climate inwhich the resistors make their statements.

He was born in 1984 in Addis Abeba, now living in the district Kotabe in the Ethiopian Capital.

His studio is in the Asni Art Village. There is an artist community based which is situated in the

dilapidated residence of the former imperial minister of finance Ras Zewde Gebre Selassie in the

district Firenzey. Henok at first had registered for Physics at the Debub  University when in 2003

he changed to the School of Fine Arts and Design at the University of Addis Abeba. After five

years of education with Mezgebu Tesemma, Tadesse Mesfin, Negatu Tszehay, Bekele Mekonnen

and Abdurahman Sherif amongst others, he achieved a bachelor’s degree in painting in 2008 and

was given two awards by the University of Addis Abeba and a scholarship by the Ethiopian

Association of Japan. Since then he participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions and was

able to increase his artistic horizon. He experiments on painting, video installations, as performer

as well as photographer and likes to provoke by colours and at times insinuating contents. He

works on topics like the lasting decay of the city, the volume of traffic, prostitution and the moral

decay in society. He gets his ideas from experimenting with different materials which he is testing

and, if they have a convincing force, converting into a mouthpiece of his inner creative world.
