Publisher Note

« It could be said that there are three basic types of portraits: the ones that help the viewer to know the portrayed individual; the ones in which the viewer can " read " the essence of the photographer; and the type in which both the portrayed and the photographer are " visible ", which is the most precious kind of portraiture. Laura Pannack's work perfectly fits in the third category of portraiture, with impeccable technical skills and remarkable natural elegance.

The combination between a very sensitive empathy for the object of her interest and the capacity to find and show intimate and delicate moments of the everyday life make her project Youth Without Age, Life Without Death a visual poem about a world confined to disappear, as any world is, in the end. A mixture between documentary shots and imaginary sets, the spaces, routines, people and objects she " lived " among in a remote place in Romania and " brought " us to see become a universal metaphor of the vulnerability of life. »
