Philip-Lorca diCorcia

Philip-Lorca diCorcia

Katharina Dohm
0/5 ( ratings)
The photography of Philip-Lorca diCorcia achieves a marvelous balance of artifice and the everyday. Over the past three decades, diCorcia has developed a unique and influential style, in which a realistic, almost documentary style of representation is subverted or countered by visibly staged composition. This combination of seemingly opposite qualities endows his images with a mysterious eeriness. In his Hustlers series , diCorcia made portraits of male prostitutes in minutely composed settings, and for Heads --probably his most famous series--he depicted passersby on the street in New York as though they were film stars. Alongside the series Streetwork , Lucky 13 and A Storybook Life , this volume, published for a major European retrospective and produced in close collaboration with diCorcia, also features works from his new and ongoing East of Eden project.
