Background information
"The series ‘New Dutch Views’ started as graduation project by Marwan BASSIOUNI and was since developed further. As a photo book with many new photographs and autobiographical reflections, published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Fotomuseum in The Hague.
Content
For his debut photo volume 'New Dutch Views', Marwan BASSIOUNI visited polders, industrial areas, small villages, inner cities, and outlying suburbs throughout the Netherlands to capture typical views framed by mosque windows. The result is a powerful visual experience, a mixed representation of identity, society, and the portrayal of Islam in Western culture in color photographs. Moreover, 'New Dutch Views' is a rebuttal from the perspective of Dutch Muslims of Islam’s often negative perception." (© Lecturis, 2019)
