About the Item
Mago National Park in southern Ethiopia is home to the Mursi, one of the most well known tribes of the Omo valley. The area is inhospitable to outsiders, because of the heat, humidity, dense bush, and tsetse fly and, in the past, the aggression shown by the Mursi tribe.
The Mursi are semi-nomadic pastoralists, with distinctive clay lip plates. The plates are worn by women above a certain age, but only during special occasions as it’s impossible to talk or eat with them in. Larger lip plates, like this woman’s, are usually worn by older women as it takes months or years from the first cut underneath the lower lip can be stretched enough to hold one of these plates.
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.
John Kenny’s black and white photographic portraits are taken on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa and India. All shot with natural light and with the subjects in their day to day attire they reveal the pride and strength inherent in tradional ways of life.
The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a very contemporary feel.

Portrait of a woman. Mursi ethnic group, Ethiopia.
This artwork is offered by IMMAGIS ART PHOTOGRAPHY, one of the leading galleries for contemporary Art Photography, located in Munich/Germany.
Horns worn by Mursi women on their heads are not simply a decorative element. They also reflect the tribe's attitude
towards the cows. During the hard times and given the harsh conditions of nomadic life, cows are the only lifeline ensuring survival of the tribe. Cattle breeding is one of the most important part of culture of Mursi and Surma tribes.
