In 2001, she was awarded the ICP Infinity Award and in 2010 a Guggenheim Fellowship. Carucci’s work has been included in solo shows at Edwynn Houk Gallery, and James Hyman in London.


Life


Carucci graduated in 1989 from Rubin Academy High School of Dance and Music in Jerusalem where she majored in Music. She then served in the Israeli Army for two years from 1989 to 1991. After serving she graduated in 1995 from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design with a degree in photography and moved to New York City that same year, where she now lives with her husband, Eran Bendheim, and their two children.[citation needed]

She currently teaches at the graduate program of photography at School of Visual Arts while continuing her personal fine art photography projects. Currently, she is returning to photographing her children and their social cycles as teenagers and working on a project about mid-life.

Her work appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, W, Aperture, ARTnews and many more publications.

As put in a B&H Studio Visit with Carucci,[3] her work consistently dives into the personal, yet always with the goal of finding universal meaning. Her photographs reflect qualities of the snapshot home-photo-album aesthetic, yet also that of the theatrically staged image. In this, she melts boundaries between the two extremes of Nan Goldin and Sally Mann, two of her greatest inspirations, as described in ARTnews article published in November 2006 by Edwynn Houk and in the B&H Studio Visit with Carucci.[3]


Major works



Closer


Carucci’s first monograph, Closer, contains her earlier work focusing on immediate family and her closest relationships. A Time Lightbox article from 2013 summarizes the work as chronicling "her tumultuous relationship with her husband and parents through incidents of infidelity (hers) too much dope (her husband’s) and her parents fractious relationship and eventual divorce. The mood was gentle, though, with plenty of high notes; the everyday ebb and flow of relationships were lovingly and lavishly documented, while the larger narratives played out in the background."[4]


Diary of a Dancer


Published in her second monograph, Diary of a Dancer (2005), documents Carucci’s experience as a professional Middle-Eastern belly dancer entertaining at events like weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs in the five boroughs of New York. It proved difficult for her to dance and take photographs herself, so she often had the help of husband Eran Bendheim. Images in this work reflect Carucci applying makeup and preparing for jobs in dismal looking bathrooms and on subway rides, snapshots of her dancing and of the people she was entertaining.


Mother


Carucci’s third monograph, Mother (2013), examines the world of her own motherhood. Beginning during the pregnancy of her twins and ending when they turn eight years old, she explores the deeply sensual and erotic connections between mother and child, all of the highs and lows in photographs reflecting the range of bliss to the raw, less attractive moments.[4][5]


Crisis


This body of work (2001–2003) narrates a tumultuous time in her marriage to Eran Bendheim. Taking place at a time when they were working through her infidelity and chronic physical pain and his drug abuse, these photographs look straight into the darkness of post-arguments, as well as at their tender moments. Carucci has described how photographing this process actually brought them closer together, as they ultimately demonstrated to each other in the taking of these photographs that their love for one another is held above all else. Photographing was a way of reconnecting.


Pain


This project documents Carucci’s time dealing with excruciating back pain during the years 2002 to 2003.[6]
