Theo Eshetu

Eshetu has worked in media art since 1982, creating installations, video art works, and television documentaries. As a videomaker, he explores the expressive capabilities of the medium and the manipulation of the language of television. Exploring themes and imagery from anthropology, art history, scientific research, and religious iconography, he attempts to define how electronic media shape identity and perception. World cultures, particularly the relationship of African and European cultures, often inform Eshetu’s work.
