Vondelpark, Amsterdam, June 10, 2005

In 2005, Vondel Park became a hunting ground for photographer Rineke Dijkstra. She made portraits like this, of teenagers in the park. They seem to be looking up, distracted from whatever it is they are doing: drinking, eating, talking. The artist has briefly interrupted their idyllic summer's day, at the same time immortalising it.
