Presents Philip-Lorca DiCorcia's "A Storybook Life". The artist/photographer's finest, most representative, and most influential work. "The disparate photographs assembled here were made over the course of twenty years. None of them were originally intended to be used in this book. By ordering and shaping them, I tried to investigate the possibilities of narrative both within a single image and especially in relation to the other photographs: An attempt to discover the possibilities of meaning in the interaction of seemingly unrelated images in the hope that content can constantly mutate according to both the external and internal condition of the viewer but remain meaningful because of its inherent but latent content. The conscious and subconscious decisions made in editing the photographs is the real work of 'A Storybook Life' " (Philip-Lorca DiCorcia). An absolute "must-have" title for Philip-Lorca DiCorcia collectors. This copy is one of the Deluxe Slipcased Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently and beautifully numbered and signed in black ink-pen by Philip-Lorca DiCorcia. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page.
