Following his Hustlers and Streetwork series, Philip-Lorca diCorcia's Heads is his most recent body of work. Taken in New York City, each image advances the traditions of street photography and candid portraiture developed by Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Harry Callahan, and Robert Frank.Though taken in the bustling Times Square area of New York City, the photographs are comprised of very little subject matter other than a tightly cropped head and the seemingly meaningless objects surrounding it. Under close scrutiny, these small details (pedestrian trappings of contemporary culture such as bottled water, designer sunglasses, earphones, polka dot "power ties") take on tremendous importance as icons of our time.
