New York
A chance moment on the busy streets of New York City is transformed into a cinematic tableau through diCorcia's signature use of concealed strobe lighting. Unsuspecting pedestrians are dramatically illuminated against the urban backdrop, their figures elevated from anonymous passersby to compelling, almost theatrical subjects. The resulting image blurs the boundary between documentary photography and staged fiction, a hallmark of diCorcia's practice.
