Exhibition Visserhallen Jacquie Maria Wessels

The B-side | Visserhallen IJmuiden (NL) | 22 May - 17 July 2022

Jacquie Maria Wessels' 'Cityscapes' are on show in the group exhibition 'the B-Side' at the Visserhallen in IJmuiden [NL]. 24 photographers from home and abroad give their interpretation of the concept of 'the backside'. Some do this, for example, by literally showing the usually hidden back of a building or row of houses. Others took the theme less literally and show the downside of our society in their photos.

For the analogue photo series 'Cityscapes', Wessels photographed in Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname, city scenes dominated by typical Surinamese murals: hand-painted advertisements containing hyper-realistic images of, among other things, tools, soup cans, oatmeal, sausages and incentives such as 'Do your best at school' ..... The works show the architecture and how residents of the city appropriate the space. This carefully composed analogue photo series is sometimes alienating and surreal and captures a cultural and economic image of time in Paramaribo.
