LIVING

Everyday life is central to the photomontages of Jacquie Maria Wessels. Each time she concentrates on one theme, seeks the differences and extremes, and then sets them down uniformly next to one another. Previously she utilised this approach for series on eating in public spaces, and gardens and their owners. The series “Wonen” shows a number of diverse ways of living. Wessels has made portraits of the residents of a houseboat, and the users of a beach house. Around them she has mounted photographs of their home and its immediate surroundings. In this way she creates a spatial perception of various ways of living.
