Lux et nox

by Bill Henson

This photography collection explores transitional states between day and night, nature and civilisation, and youth and adulthood. Through landscapes at dusk and portraits of adolescents, the images utilise rich chiaroscuro to capture enigmatic moments.

brief_description
Photographs of landscapes at dusk, of the industrial no-mans land at the outskirts of our cities, of androgynous girls and boys adrift in the nocturnal turmoil of adolescence are painterly tableaux that continue the traditions of romantic literature and painting. --blurb
