Rineke Dijkstra

A dutch photographer (primarily) who I don't really know much about.  Saw a half hour long 'film' of hers at a gallery, and couldn't stop laughing (everyone else was silent - although this is 'art', there is a definite element of humour).  In it she gets her subjects to stand in front of a camera, puts on some music and lets them get on with 'it', with very differing results from each person.  An interesting investigation into the awkwardness of the human.  I can only find a couple of crap camera phone videos of it unfortunately and it doesn't do it justice at all (for instance it should be projected with 2 screen next to each other), but anyway...

This third video shows some of his other work, and a bit of the above mentioned video
