Artwork Description |Philip-Lorca diCorcia is known for creating images balanced precariously between<br />
documentary and staged photography, fact and fiction. Thousand comprises<br />
1,000 Polaroid photographs and spans close totwenty-five years of the artist’s<br />
career, from the late 1970s to the early 2000s. The work offers adistinctive<br />
vantage point into diCorcia’s sensibility and visual preoccupations. The linear<br />
sequencing of the images reveals adeeply personal associative logic and artistic<br />
journey that encapsulates amultitude of information and experiences encountered<br />
over the course ofalifetime.<br />
Since diCorcia uses the Polaroid both as amethod of documenting his life and<br />
surroundings and as test shots for his larger format photographs, Thousand includes<br />
images from some of the artist’s most recognized bodies of work (such<br />
as Hustlers, Streetwork, Heads, Lucky Thirteen), interspersed with intimate<br />
scenes offriends, family, and lovers; self-portraits; double-exposures; and<br />
records of the quotidian.<br />
