About the Item
I met Lemoroko, a Rendille moran (warrior), in the southern reaches of the Rendille homeland, on the boundary of the neighbouring Samburu District. He had a striking, chiselled appearance, and vibrant blue eyes that seemed so incongruous next to his dark skin.
A day later, some 30 kilometres further north I met him again. He was singing whilst pulling buckets of water from a well and filling troughs for the hundreds of camels in the small valley. Surprised to see him again, I could not resist telling him that his blue eyes and sculpted face were stunning to my western eyes. The other Rendille warriors who were sat around us laughed, before telling my guide that they often also referred to Lemoroko as the ‘rock face’ or the man with the ‘sky in his eyes’.
John Kenny’s work is all shot on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa. His images are all taken with natural light and his subjects in their day to day attire.
The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look.
