Henry Jesionka

Ancient Cinema - exploring the discovery of an Ancient Cinema

<p>A background in physics and film combined with a passion for 19th century science and natural processes, form the basis of the moveable feast that is Henry Jesionka&rsquo;s career. A self-confessed&nbsp; &lsquo;tinkerer&rsquo;, Jesionka studied Applied Physics at the University of Waterloo, before obtaining a degree in Media Studies from Ryerson Polytechnical University in 1982.</p> <p>&nbsp;Lecturing extensively as a Teacher of Media in North America and Vienna in the 1980s and 90s, his interest in the development of community-based web networks steadily increased. While producing the first of many short, non-narrative films at this time, he also completed a Master of Arts in Humanities at the School of Graduate Studies in Buffalo, New York.</p> <p>&nbsp;By the mid 1990s Jesionka was mounting large-scale, optical installations and exhibiting widely throughout North America and Europe. He continued to explore recurring themes of history, perpetual motion and the illusions of time and space by using different combinations of projection strategies with highly visual sculptural elements.</p> <p>&nbsp;Jesionka&rsquo;s hands-on approach can be traced back to his father Ed, from whom he inherited the building skills that have enabled him to diversify and initiate programs such as his 1999 Sheltering project. &nbsp;The mission of this venture was to design, construct and distribute a series of portable, durable, thermal and waterproof shelters for&nbsp; people living outdoors. &nbsp;This was one of many successful diversions in a career that is strategically geared towards exploring uncharted territory.</p>
