Theo Eshetu

Theo Eshetu has worked in media art since 1982 exploring various formats from essay-films to large-scale video installations that explore how electronic media shape and inform global perceptions. His works present formal aesthetic research with a specific engagement with the interconnectedness of world cultures. Eshetu was the recipient of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin scholarship 2012 and participated in documenta 14. He lives and works between Berlin and Rome.
