Ari Marcopoulos is set to launch a new solo exhibit titled “Machine” at the Frank Elbaz Gallery in Paris, France. The mixed-media savant will showcase his extensive oeuvre of still photos depicting iconic musicians such as JAY-Z, Kendrick Lamar, The Beastie Boys and Ratking, to name a few. Accompanying the photographic work is a monumental eight-channel video installation that will feature a wide and diverse array of Marcopoulos’s rarely seen short films.

“The collection of works in view represents a broad range of images of the past and the present,” said Marcopoulos. “The Machine’adds the element of time and the cacophony of place to portraiture.”

Take a look at select images from the exhibit above and head over to Frank Elbaz Gallery’s official website to learn more. “Machine” will be open to the public starting September 2 up until October 14. An exclusive artist book by Marcopoulos made in collaboration with Red Lebanese will also launch on opening day.
