Over the last 20 years, Hellen van Meene has produced a complex body of work, offering a contemporary take on photographic portraiture. Characterized by her exquisite use of light, formal elegance and palpable psychological tension, her depictions of girls and boys on the cusp of adulthood demonstrate a clear aesthetic lineage to seventeenth-century Dutch painting. Van Meene captures the intimacy in the photographer-subject relationship, bringing out a sense of honesty and vulnerability from within her models and highlighting the beauty of imperfection. She carefully poses her subjects in their environments to emphasize their fragility, adding a palpable tension to the photographs. At the same time, she captures them at deeper, more introspective moments-masterfully moving between the staged nature of the portraits and the real experiences of her subjects. The combination of van Meene's instinctive understanding of the universality of adolescent experience and the highly intimate collaboration between photographer and model makes for powerful portraits that resonate long after viewing. This book brings together more than 250 images, for the most comprehensive presentation of the artist's work to date.

La photographe néerlandaise Hellen van Meene nous invite dans son monde avec un nouveau livre. Tout va disparaître montre des portraits oniriques d'enfants dans leur environnement familier. Pris en photo aux USA, en Russie et aux Pays-Bas dans des poses prudemment mises en scène et des lumières tamisées, les petites filles et les garçons semblent se mouvoir comme en état d'apesanteur entre la mélancolie et l'inconnu. Née en 1972 à Alkmaar, Hellen van Meene fait partie des photographes féminines les plus reconnues de son pays et des personnalités les plus importantes de la scène internationale contemporaine. Dans son travail, elle cherche toujours à donner un "visage" à ce sentiment précaire de la croissance. L'ouvrage contient un essai de l'astrophysicien et auteur Jörg M. Colberg ainsi que des clichés inédits d'intérieurs, de natures mortes et de panoramas. La Yancey Richardson Gallery de New York montre aujourd'hui les œuvres d'Hellen dans le cadre d'une exposition. Ce qui est intéressant, c'est que les illustrations du livre correspondent presque à la taille des originaux. Ainsi, les images sont vues comme l'artiste a voulu les montrer. Comme elles doivent fonctionner. http://www.gosee.fr/news/art/hellen-van-meene-tout-va-disparaitre-portraits-oniriques-en-etat-d-apesanteur-nouveau-livre-d-images-et-exposition-a-new-york-7602?gos_lang=fr (18/10/10)
