Description: For 'New Dutch Views', Bassiouni travelled through polders, industrial areas, villages, inner cities and suburbs to photograph the Dutch landscape from the mosque. The result is a powerful visual experience, an image of identity, coexistence and the representation of Islam in Western culture. New Dutch Views is also a reaction to the negative attention on Islam by showing the perspective of Dutch Muslims. Alongside typical mosque elements, the razor-sharp images depict things that have been part of the Dutch interior for years and years: square windows, bricks, a radiator. The photos show that a new Western-Islamic identity has developed. Exhibition: Fotomuseum, The Hague, The Netherlands (18.05.-01.09.2019).
Notes: Title from colophon.
