Rineke Dijkstra: Park Portraits

Dijkstra uses the body to speak of a world experience and depicts bodies as social and changeable, transformed by experience. As bodies in transition she is classifying individuals or groups by the outer surfaces of the body.

The work developed for, as i remember it…, acts as a form of therapy, working through traumatic moments and reliving the intensities of childhood. These memories are rarely comfortable, a calm exterior of a turbulent inner experience as the subject matter.

Archival pigment print

Ed. of 7

from Bruce Silverstein

I selected this work in regards to the artist's actions of repeatedly throwing liquid into the air and photographing the resulting shapes and sculptural formations. The lighting and uncertain compositions are elegant and rich.

I was attracted to this because of the artist's use of mixed media and that it addresses ambiguous memories.
