Theo Eshetu (born 1958 in London, lives and works in Berlin) 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, his work redefines how electronic media shapes
identity and perception. World cultures, particularly the relationship of
African and European cultures, often inform Eshetu's work.
