Jacqueline Hassink (1966)
Photographer Jacqueline Hassink devotes her work to projects rooted in the heart of the world economy, examining situations in which a person's public and private domain manifest themselves. Hassink has a broad perspective on the connection between internal and external: sociological and architectonic.
The corporate culture of major multinationals, VIP fitting rooms in the designer stores of New York or hip car shows in cities like Detroit, Geneva or Paris are the places Hassink seizes on to expose both worlds. Her precision in capturing details, her ability to engage her subjects, the meticulous exhibition of her subjects in series, and the large size of her photos are all aspects that typify Hassink's method. She observes, compares and documents human activity and the places in which that activity plays out worldwide. As a result, her photo series become almost anthropological in nature.
