Lina Hashim - Unlawful Meetings, Self published, 2014, Denmark
5x5cm photographs on fan-fold (leporello) n 7x7cm cardboard box.
„Lina Hashim, an Iraqi photographer born in Kuwait and raised in Denmark, investigates the secret encounters that take place between young muslim lovers in parks, hidden between trees, or under the cover of the night on beaches and in parking lots. Using night vision cameras, inconspicuous smartphones or digital cameras equipped with long range telephoto lenses, she captured couples enjoying moments of the greatest intimacy in very public spaces in Sweden and Denmark.
...
For Lina Hashim herself, who identifies as a believing, but not a practicing Muslim, the project has led her to revisit the tenets of her faith as laid down in texts written in times so fundamentally different from today. Convinced that the ban on sex before marriage was written to protect women and their offspring, she wants to put up for discussion the question if contemporary women and men can’t find other options – in terms of health, or legal and financial security for themselves and their children – to take care of themselves."
