This huge 200-plus page book is the biggest collection of Dutch photographer, Rineke Dijkstra's work, she is one of the most significant contemporary artists working in photographic portraiture. Her large-scale photographs focus on the thematics of identity, typically capturing her subjects at moments of transition or vulnerability.
Working in series, her images recall the visual acuity of seventeenth-century Dutch portraiture, offering intimate portrayals of her sitters whilst also suggesting the situated aspects of their being. Dijkstraʼs investigations in portraiture also include video. Her fixed-camera video studies yield images that appear to be moving photographs, revolutionizing our understanding of the fluid boundary between the still and moving image. This book was published on the occasion of Rineke receiving the prestigious 2017 Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography.
