Ari Marcopoulosはアムステルダム生まれ、アンディ・ウォーホルのアシスタントを務めた後、写真家アーヴィング・ペンに師事。現在NYで活動する写真家、冒険家。ご存じ、アメリカのヒップホップカルチャーを重視した作風で、作品は日記や記録の展示として存在し、彼の生活、家族など、彼が生きている文化的環境を撮影して処理するための手段である。そのため、多くの写真集を制作している彼の中でも、「ZINE」・「ポスター」という形態はやはり非常に重要な位置を占めている。彼の友人、歩く中で会った人々、その間の景色が映し出された本書も、彼の持つ非形式性・日記性・どこにでも存在しうるという偏在性が美しく映し出されている。ポスター付き。サインあり。
Ari Marcopoulos was born in Amsterdam. After working as an assistant to Andy Warhol, he went on to study under the photographer Irving Penn. He is currently based in New York, where he works as a photographer and adventurer. Well known for a practice deeply rooted in American hip-hop culture, his work exists as a form of diary or record—an exhibition of lived experience. Photography functions for him as a means of capturing and processing his life, his family, and the cultural environments in which he exists. For this reason, among the many photobooks he has produced, formats such as zines and posters occupy a particularly important place in his oeuvre. This book, which reflects his friends, people he encounters while walking, and the landscapes that unfold between them, beautifully embodies the informality, diaristic nature, and sense of omnipresence that characterize his work. Includes a poster. Signed copy.
