The Ens Project

The Ens Project

The Ens Project is a multi media work by Leo Asemota abstracted from the culture of ritual of the Edo people of Benin. Taking inspiration from Walter Benjamin’s essay [http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/benjamin.htm The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility] and the British Punitive Expedition of 1897 against Benin, The Ens Project is a one-off live performance that will culminate a six-screen video and sound installation; other works in the project includes photographs, bronze sculptures created using the lost wax process and drawings made with orhue, a natural chalk found on river side and coal. The chalk, also known as kaolin is a symbol of purity and prosperity to the Edo people.

The Ens Project is the second production in a series of three proposed works with Asemota as the central character. The Cure Complete Works(2003) is the first production. "The Cure" is also the 23rd work from his FiTH WORK series.
