What's On: Rineke Dijkstra

Posted by Bryony Quinn,

This weekend, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art opened a retrospective of Rineke Dijkstras’s photographs. Hers are rare and intimate portraits; subjects appear intensely vulnerable as they are captured during their formative periods, “when change is perceivable.” Which is why she is drawn to adolescents with all their self-conscious, self-possessed contradictions of youth – their physical emergence often charted over time. Continuing this theme of bodily ephemerality, the artist followed certain subjects through experiences (like childbirth or military training) and captured, remarkably, what appears to be inner, non-visible, change too.
