The Lives of Others: Portraits from the Photography Collection

The Lives of Others explores the artistic interest in the human figure and in understanding how people present themselves to the world. From formal studio portraits to pictures caught on the street, the portraits featured are drawn from the Museum’s photography collection. Included in the exhibition is Rineke Dijkstra’s striking eleven-part series Almerisa, an eleven-part series that follows the transition of a young Bosnian refugee as she adapts to life in the West and grows from a girl to a woman with her own child.
