Polaroids, Philip-Lorca di Corcia

The influential American photographer Philip-Lorca diCorcia talks about “Thousand” an installation of his Polaroid photography on view at LACMA through September 14, 2008, as part of the exhibition “Philip-Lorca diCorcia.” Di Corcia belongs to the famed “Boston School”, a generation of radical photographers that emerged from the crude underground scene of the 1980’s and 1990’s which includes Nan Goldin, Diane Arbus, David Armstrong and Larry Clark amongst others. DiCorcia’s highlights: “As you get older, I think you trust your instincts a lot more. ‘One plus two equals three’ is far too simple arithmetic for a project like this.”
