Henry Wolff (b. 1993) is a visual artist based in Tarntanya/Adelaide, Australia.
Working across performance, photography and moving image, Wolff’s practice is rooted in their lived experience as a non-binary person. Through gestures of care, intimacy and ecological attunement, Wolff creates performances and images that trouble distinctions between liveness and trace, asking how tenderness, fear, vulnerability and transformation might be shared between people and with the more-than-human world.
Wolff exhibits and performs in galleries, public spaces, and online across Australia and inter/nationally. They have undertaken mentorships with several leading Australian artists (Hoda Afshar, Amos Gebhardt, Eugenia Lim, David Rosetzky), and residency programs with institutions including Centre for Projection Art (VIC, AU). Recent career highlights include a major collaborative work 'care–––fall' realised with artist Heidi Kenyon in 2025; a commission by Photo Australia for PHOTO 2022, an international photographic biennial (VIC, AU), exhibiting as the feature artist for the 2022 Gertrude Street Projection Festival (VIC, AU), and performing Mel O'Callaghan's 'Respire Respire' at Samstag Museum for the 2022 presentation of 'Centre of the Centre'. In 2020 Wolff’s work ‘Sibling’ was identified as one of the top 125 works from around the world by Aesthetica Art Magazine (LDN, UK), and they performed at the Art Gallery of South Australia with Melbourne collective APHIDS for the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Monster Theatres' (SA, AU).
Wolff is an experienced creative producer, arts manager, and curator. With a career grounded in not-for-profit organisations dedicated to supporting South Australian creatives, they have developed expertise across engagement, programming, development, and fundraising. They are currently the Engagement & Development Manager at Helpmann Academy, where they are involved with fundraising initiatives, partnerships and relationships that create transformative opportunities for emerging creatives. Wolff has previously held roles at SALA Festival and Guildhouse, and as an independent arts professional they have consulted on projects with JPE Design Studio, the Commissioner for Children and Young People, the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, Carclew, and others. They have also co-led projects with Adelaide Contemporary Experimental Gallery. Prior to entering the arts sector, they worked as a fashion designer on global labels with Australian Fashion Labels.
