Since the early 1990s, the Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra has produced an impressive body of photographic- and video work, offering a contemporary take on the genre of portraiture. By isolating people from their everyday context and searching for glimmers of individuality while focusing on subtle details, the posture and gaze of the subject, she encourages the viewer to look closely at people who are in transition in one way or another. Her solo show in the Berlinische Galerie will give an overview of her work, concentrating on the theme of ‘transition’.
