About the Item

A young man of the Afar culture in the town of Assaita. Many men spend the afternoons in loud debate in mud buildings and courtyards. Often with fistfuls of miraa leaves (ghat) and cheeks filled with the drug. This socialising, lacking in any physical exertion, seems like the only sensible thing to do in the debilitating heat. 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. Edition of 3 Presentation: Unmounted C-type print Signed by the Artist Certificate of Authenticity Country – Ethiopia Culture – Afar Year – 2008 Image size: 54” x 36” Paper size: 58” x 40” Paper has additional 2" white border all round for framing
