Born in 1976, lives and works in Paris.
After studying photography at ENSAV in La Cambre, Laura Henno completed film studies at Le Fresnoy. Her practice is guided by the desire to revisit the great founding stories of humanity through random people who become epic protagonists in her photos. Laura Henno is an explorer of fallen humanity, who
aims to reveal its capacity to embody these great stories. Using photography and video, she immerses herself in lost cities, and invisible communities to capture their beauty and truth. Winner of the Prix Découverte des Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie d’Arles in 2007, the artist has since multiplied solo exhibitions in France and abroad, at Frac Auvergne (France) in
2024, Musée de la photographie de Charleroi (Belgium), The Wilfredo Lam Center (Cuba) in 2023, and Palais de Tokyo (Paris, France) in 2022. Laura Henno is represented by Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Paris & Brussels.
