The book is printed to look like a phone book and the show features hundreds of black and white Xerox prints that dress the stark white gallery walls.
Marcopoulos began his career assisting famous pop artist Andy Warhol. Similar to Warhol, he draws inspiration from the community that surrounds him. Though he carves out his own unique visual voice capturing playful every day moments of friends from urban city downtown art, skater and snowboarder scenes.
I have special love for this photo of an old friend who sadly passed a few years back, Harold Hunter, known from Larry Clark’s film 'Kids'.
Marcopoulos captures and maintains Harold’s lighthearted and loving spirit and reminds me of the beauty of photography taking a single moment and making it last a lifetime. RIP Harold.
