UNWIRED - Jacqueline Hassink
Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam from January 20 to May 6, 2018.
Unwired combines two simultaneous projects by Dutch photographer Jacqueline Hassink (1966-), which sharpen our eye for an increasingly digitally connected world. In Unwired landscapes, she has sought out places where it's impossible to get a network, where there's pure radio silence, so to speak remote regions like the Japanese island of Yakushima, the Norwegian lands of the Svalbard Islands known as Spitsbergen, or the uninhabitable volcanic desert of Iceland are captured by her lens, just as dead zones are artificially created in urban spaces, like a Digital Detox Hotel in Baden Baden Baden.
Initially, her second project, iPortrait, seems to be exactly the opposite of her first. In this project, Jacqueline Hassink depicts people immersed in their smartphones in the subways of major cities such as New York, Paris, London, Moscow, Shanghai, Seoul and Tokyo. Here, she reveals the other side of digital networking, which interferes with direct contact between human beings; contributions by Bregtje Van der Haak, Achille Mbembe and Evgeny Morozov, texts by Frits Gierstberg, Jacqueline Hassink and Yudo Harada, color photos.
