Living Spaces

In ‘Living Spaces’ Jacquie Maria Wessels portrayed inhabitants inside their homes. Subsequently she mounted the exterior and surroundings of their houses around these portraits. It resulted in a spatial experience of the inhabitants' way of life.

With this series Wessels shows us how people live and sheds light on their different lifestyles. The living spaces and their inhabitants form an integrated whole. Through combining the exterior of the houses with the interior she gives the viewer a personal insight and creates a layered image of the inhabitants.

This analogue photographed series has been exhibited amongst others at the Dutch Photo Festival in Naarden, the Noorderlicht Photo Festival in Groningen in the main exhibition ‘Sense of Space’, the Pride Photo Award Exhibition in Amsterdam and the New York Photo Festival in the US. This series is part of the Art Collection of the Province of Noord-Holland in The Netherlands.
