Entropy

Most of the photographs in this album were taken in 2018. Photos taken at the photographer’s whim, most of which are digitally dated.

Ari Marcopoulos was born in Amsterdam in 1957 and moved to New York in 1980, at the height of the city’s art scene. Artist, filmmaker and photographer, his work includes portraits, street scenes and landscapes from places as diverse as Tokyo, Lebanon, New Orleans, Brooklyn and the California coast. His subjects have been musicians, celebrities, artists and friends, as well as the anonymous inhabitants of the neighborhoods he has roamed. His images are saturated with movement and transformation, with strangers, the underground, and the periphery, with discontinuity and amnesia.
