Philip-Lorca diCorcia

Art Brokerage: Philip-Lorca diCorcia American Artist and Photographer: b. 1951. Philip-Lorca diCorcia was born 1951 in Hartford, Connecticut. He is considered one of the most influential and innovative photographers working today. diCorcia is known for creating images that are poised between documentary and theatrically staged photography. His practice takes everyday occurrences beyond the realm of banality, infusing what would otherwise appear to be insignificant gestures with psychology and emotion. diCorcia employs photography as a fictive medium capable of creating uncanny, complex realities out of seemingly straightforward compositions. As such, his work is based on the dichotomy between fact and fiction and asks the viewer to question the assumed truths that the photographic image offers. diCorcia received his M.F.A. from Yale University in 1979.
