Ari Marcopoulos 'Out & About' should be considered a diary of one photographer’s journey through two decades of New York life. Originally form the Netherlands, Marcopoulos moved to New York at the end of the ‘70s. Out and About covers his photographic activity in New York, spanning from images of underground artists and celebrities of these times, to the snapshots documenting street life and the telling portraits of Marcopoulos himself, his wife and his children. Different images, all equally characterized by an unmistakeable element.

As Aaron Rose writes in his introductory text: What Ari was doing photographically with the art and music stars of the Eighties is the same thing he was doing in our little misfit art scene in the Nineties and he still continues today. He is consistently seeking style, substance and spirit in the places most people forget to look. He is Out and About, exploring the world in search of subjects and situations from which we all can learn.

The book also features critical essays by Harmony Korine and Diego Cortez.
