Photo series Tunica, My Firewall - location Dat Bolwerck

Sub project

With project 'Tunica - My Firewall' she wants to visualize her ambivalent relationship with the online world - showing vulnerability and how to keep control. She choses the archetypal garment tunica, to make a connection with our distant past

In the photo session in Dat Bolwerck, a late Gothic national monument from 1549, she connects the old world with the new world of technology. A building which the age of technology seems to have had no control over.  A huge contrast with the high-tech world. Where can you hide?

Pauline's postures and facial expressions cover a wide range: from confrontation, doubt, protection, acceptance to resignation.
