In 1998 Dijkstra was invited by the Herzliya Museum of Art to exhibit her photographs of teenagers and children on the beach, together with the video installation The Buzzclub/Mysteryworld. Whilst there she began to conceive a new series of portraits of young Israeli men and women at the start of their national service. In the preface she writes: ‘In my work, I look for specific characteristics of individual people within group settings. In Israel, I consciously choose soldiers because the army plays such a prominent role in Israeli society. Moreover, military service implies that one has to submit to a collective identity. There is always a tension, however, between the values of the individual an the values of a community. I am interested in the paradox between identity and uniformity, in the power and vulnerability of each individual and each group. It is this paradox that I try to visualize by concentrating on poses, attitudes, gestures and gazes.’
