Dutch Identity – Dutch portraiture NOW

Twenty-five contemporary Dutch portrait photographers, including leading international figures such as Anton Corbijn and Rineke Dijkstra, are presented in this expansive exhibition that explores how Dutch identity is formed through images. A few featured portrait photographers are: Koos Breukel, Joost van den Broek, Ernst Coppejans, Hellen van Meene and Viviane Sassen. The range of images is striking: a portrait by Ernst Coppejans portrays a gay man from Senegal; Charlotte Dumas photographed rescue dogs used during the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York; Martine Stig captures two sisters wearing burkas in Kuwait, their faces invisible. Also included are impressive ceremonial portraits of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima.
