Rineke Dijkstra
by Branka Bogdanov, USA 2001, 10'


 This short film follows Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra in her studio to reveal the thought behind her photographic series starring adolescents, families and women shortly after childbirth. Objectivity and formal rigor are the principal characteristics of these shots. However, especially in the poses of the adolescents, what emerges is their sense of unease, of waiting, and their difficulty in defining their own role.
