Since the late 1970s, Nicosia has staged and constructed sets, objects, and situations to be photographed rather than to reproduce something that already exists. These conceptual fabrications have ranged from elaborate sets with live actors to dioramas and abstract constructions. Whether his pictures contain a disturbing suburban narrative, or are fabricated by the act of drawing, or are simply created by the use of common objects with dramatic lighting, the familiar thread of Nicosia's unique vision and sensibility is always present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNic Nicosia\u003c\/i\u003e is the first major publication of the artist's work and covers his entire oeuvre through 2011.
