Publisher's Description
There is one place in particular where your fingers are performing choreographies that were unknown just a few years ago. A place where the physical world merges into a virtual world, the reversible into the irreversible, and the controllable into the uncontrollable. A place that is also a symbol of our compulsive desire to be connected all the time, and of our new internal struggle: How much of our privacy are we willing to sacrifice? Clicks, taps, pinches, and swipes. Traces of human behaviour… left like a battlefield.
In Battlefields, Jansen's third book with The Eriskay Connection, photography is used as a forensic-scientific tool to examine our compulsive desire to be connected at all times and our struggle between private and public. The publication contains 10 monumental images that Jansen made of screen-surfaces of smartphones and tablets.
