For the analogue photo series 'Cityscapes', Wessels photographed in Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname, city scenes dominated by typical Surinamese murals: hand-painted advertisements containing hyper-realistic images of, among other things, tools, soup cans, oatmeal, sausages and incentives such as 'Do your best at school' .....
The works show the architecture and how residents of the city appropriate the space. This carefully composed analogue photo series is sometimes alienating and surreal and captures a cultural and economic image of time in Paramaribo.
