ABOUT HENRI T
Henri T (they/them) is a German born, British trans*disciplinary, disabled, highly sensitive storyteller, working with photography, moving image, performance and scent. They are interested in documenting and archiving their community, exploring memory, queerness and transness through time and history and thereby deconstructing hetero patriarchal constructs and raising visibility for underrepresented groups and issues.
Their photography and moving image work ranges between staged/scripted personal work in series and immersive documentary/reportage/theatre work. Henri describes themselves as an honest and kind observer, who encourages anyone in front of their lens to trust the trans gaze and embrace all of who they are. Henri is a HSP (highly sensitive person with processing sensitivities), which heavily informs their practice and enables them to ‘climb into a moment’, finding the essence and the detail. Their work is quiet and bold at the same time, immersive, celebratory, empowering, soft, warm, sometimes surreal, and intimate.
Henri has worked on several photographic and moving image commissions, magazine publications and exhibitions over the years. A personal highlight was a commission for a solo exhibition at Farleys House, Lee Miller, Roland Penrose and their son Antony Penrose’s Sussex home.
In 2024 they were commissioned to film a short documentary for Architects of Air, exploring access and inclusion within their immersive sculptural art works, another meaningful highlight to date.
In 2022 they have art directed and photographed a commission for the podcast project ‘Adventures in Time and Gender’, as part of the 'Rethinking Sexology' Project of Exeter University and funded by The Wellcome Trust. One of those image has been selected for the RA Summer Show 2025.
