Hanne Lamon b.1982, fine art photographer based in Ghent, Belgium.

For two decades Hanne Lamon has been making still photo recordings of her everyday life that contain an unruly beauty. She is in search of the undercurrent of her photographic production, which appears to be extremely fragile and contradictory.

Lamon's poetic universe evinces great sensibility and melancholy. The photographer creates images that throw light on a fragile and intimate world. Lamon focuses on human body language, subtle touches and draperies as well as mysterious landscape, scenes and abstract compositions. She experiments with film photography, specific types of paper and manual, graphic printing processes. Her choices are well thought out and attest to a longing for an artisanal and tactile beauty.

The images are deeply rooted in personal struggles, turbulences and feelings of loss and hope. The photographer translates her struggles and conflicting emotions into a metaphorical and often dark imagery that conceals and reveals. Even though the photographs emerge from the artist's very own personal environment, they are nonetheless timeless, connective and universal. They suggest narratives and memories that possess a moving familiarity.

In 2019 Lamon released her first self-published intimate book struggle strangle struck, with images of personal and physical entanglements. The book is more of an object, which you can view and straighten in different ways. In January this year Lamon’s artist's book, Until the end __ I will follow you, was published with Stockmans artbooks.
