Philip-Lorca diCorcia uses a lot of still, dull, no emotion photos that involve a lot of loneliness throughout his photos.

There is a specific photo he uses which is called ‘Bruno. 1993’. I think this photo resembles the ‘Ophelia’ photo which many artists have recreated before.

I think his photos are all staged with having a constant theme of odd-looking people stood or sat down by themselves, or showing loneliness in their house or their environment, but with his ‘Bruno. 1993’, photo I think it was his version of Ophelia.

With the grass, forest theme all around and with the person in the middle lying on their back with there arms either side, maybe it’s trying to show they died, or passed away peacefully, but diCorcia used a baby instead of a women to show his take on this recreation.
