Fusselman :: PHILIP - LORCA DICORCIA :: "East of Eden"

A display of the bizarre within completely normal-looking photographs. Technically, they don't appear upsetting. Their composition, color, and display is traditional and pleasant. It is the thematic content of the photographs that transforms them into upsetting or bizarre experiences.

Political and religious commentary + emotional noise comes out after a couple of reflective moments immersed in the work.

Once you become aware of a hidden element, you begin to look for it in every photo. It is not always clear, the message. It takes interpretation that is not always correct.

Taking bizarre elements and putting them into the real is a totally interesting endeavor to me. It is unnerving to encounter the ugly displayed as the norm. It is the right kind of upset. A disturbance to the familiar progression of daily life, or the expected effect of artwork.
