About the Item
A young Hamer boy near the village of Turmi, Ethiopia. The young of Hamer society are at an important point in their societies’ history as their way of life is changing from a focus on traditional animals, crops and the trade of rural products – towards tourist-generated income.
The Hamer live an existence that in practical (and visual) terms, has a centuries-old lineage. This has brought increasing numbers of foreigners to the region over the last decade. As a result many Hamer families restrict their semi-nomadic movements to a relatively small distance of the three main towns where tourists stay. Some important ceremonies that previously were only performed at events such as harvests or as a precursor to marriage (for example the Hamer bull jumping ceremony) are happening more frequently as they attract a large number of paying tourists. It is the choice of the Hamer and other groups to decide whether the intrusion into their lives, particularly by large organised groups, is worth the price they pay in orienting their way of life towards tourist money. But while the tourists and their money keep flowing, it seems difficult to imagine how these rural people of little wealth and uncertain resources can afford to turn them away.
The basic way of living for this child will be markedly different to that of his father and grand-father, and the rate of change is likely to be faster than ever before.
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 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.
