"Conceptual artist Jacqueline Hassink (*1966 in Enschede) studied sculpture in The Hague and Trondheim. She has lived in New York since 1997, where she has produced series of photographs and films dealing with the influence of business on life in society and the resulting rituals. She has also been a guest lecturer at Harvard University, the Wits University in South Africa, and the École d'arts appliqués in Vevey. Most of her projects are published in illustrated book form. Her works are collected and exhibited around the globe." (Hatje Cantz)



Martin Parr included this project in his catalogue of the most important photo books of the 20th century.



"Her very first project ("The Table of Power") is a key work in her oeuvre: in the 1990s she photographed the boardroom tables at the headquarters of what were at the time the forty largest multinational corporations in Europe. Two years ago, after the financial crisis, she took up the theme once again.

Basically, these pictures show nothing more than a deserted room, a large table, and chairs. However, if one connects these scenes with the names of the largest European companies, such as Shell, Allianz, Siemens, or ThyssenKrupp, then one will take a second, closer look. Because it is here in these conference rooms that the CEOs and CFOs, the global players and corporate leaders meet. And they make decisions that affect hundreds of thousands of employees. Here, the prices of gas and diesel are discussed; this is where it is decided which government bonds are worth buying and which are not. Therefore, these are not just rooms with tables and chairs; they are symbols of influence, of responsibility and control, wealth and property - in short, of power.


Hassink calls her two long-term studies "The Tables of Power" and "The Tables of Power 2". In a certain way, they are a double project, about which the artist says, “Every room has its own identity, every detail allows you to draw your own conclusions about how you perceive the company. That is fascinating.” (Hatje Cantz)
