Laura Henno places characters in meticulously chosen settings from which they seem indissociable: they give themselves up to their surroundings, letting themselves be engulfed by darkness or murky, viscous water. Henno's photographs trigger a feeling that time has been suspended, frozen; and that during this intervening period, human beings are delivered up to some invisible, mysterious force. She makes no claim to capture the "soul" of a character in a "decisive moment"; rather, she succeeds in preserving the mystery of places and beings, because she transcends the trivial and knows what to leave obscure or unsaid.
