She usually focuses on subjects on the cusp of some significant life-change—coming of age, childbirth, etc. For this book, she has photographed bullfighters, ballerinas, young Bosnian refugees, and Israeli youngsters pre- or post military service. With many subjects she has conducted repeated sittings, documenting these changes in even more detail. From the publisher: "Hers is a cool, almost neo-objective style of representation, in which the legacies of August Sander and Diane Arbus are all but obvious. And yet, Dijkstra's sitters are completely free to cautiously approach the difficult subject of their own identity. Her pictures are never determining. To the extent the medium of photography allows for it, they open up rooms of imagination to both the model and the viewer."This special edition of Rineke Dijkstra: Portraits was limited to a printing of 100 copies and published on the occasion of the photographer's first major solo exhibition held at Winterthur from March 12 to May 22, 2005, and which traveled to Barcelona and Amsterdam. It features essays by Hripsimé Visser and Urs Stahel, in both German and English.NEW, LIMITED EDITION of 100 COPIES with SIGNED PRINT. IN SLIPCASE.
