ICA Boston: Philip-Lorca DiCorcia

Bev and I have plans to make it to the new Institute of Contemporay Art this summer. The museum is situated on the Boston waterfront and looks quite remarkable. There are also some interesting exhibits there, including a collection of photographs by Philip-Lorca DiCorcia. I first noticed these photographs when they ran in the Globe Arts section, and the images stuck with me. I think Alfred Hitchcock would have loved this photographer. The lighting and shadows set up a haunting -- almost macabre -- atmosphere, and the subjects look so lonely and lost in their own thoughts. The horror of everyday life, right? Look at some of these images. Don't they look almost cinematic?
