Adolescents, mothers who have just given birth, bullfighters who have just exited the ring: Dutch photographer Rineke Dijkstra singles out individuals on the cusp of life-changing or dangerous experiences. She returns to some subjects again and again: in one series, the life of a Bosnian refugee in the Netherlands plays out from childhood to motherhood. One of Dijkstra’s best-known series poses adolescents against seascapes, balancing their awkward beauty against archetypal and symbolic composition.
