Publisher's Synopsis
Philip-Lorca diCorcia is among the most innovative and influential photographers working today. For nearly 30 years he has occupied a crossroads in contemporary photography, challenging the documentary tradition with cinematically built images that perch uncannily between the fictional and the real. This book surveys all periods of diCorcias career, from the late 1970s to the present, with selections drawn from his most acclaimed series including Hustlers, Streetworks, Heads, A Storybook Life, and Lucky 13. The catalogue accompanies an exhibition organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston the largest grouping of diCorcias work to date and the first United States museum presentation in 14 years.
