With its enormous shopping malls, artificial islands and iconic sky scrapers, the small emirate in the Persian Gulf is a world player in the field of tourism, real estate and business.0But Dubai is also a generic city: a city without historical layers, without character, without identity. The public domain is being privatized at a high pace, activities mainly take place in artificial indoor spaces such as malls, gated communities and amusement parks.0Success story or megalomania? In 'Garden of Delight', photographer Nick Hannes paints an estranging and unsettling image of Dubai's entertainment industry, its consumerism and market-driven urbanization. His pictures showcase Dubai as the ultimate playground of globalization and capitalism, and raise questions about authenticity and sustainability. The series 'Garden of Delight' won the Magnum Photography Award 2017 and the Zeiss Photography Award 2018. Exhibition: De Garage, Mechelen, Belgium (15.12.2018-03.03.2019). ER -
