Published by the independent Dutch press Roma Publications, Rome – Malibu adopts the exact format of their earlier release The Xerox Book—itself based on Seth Siegelaub’s legendary 1960s conceptual project in which artists were invited to create 25 pages responding to the then-new possibilities of photocopy technology.

Marcopoulos’s book becomes a quiet document of place and time: images of Rome’s architecture and monuments, largely emptied of people, followed by a brief closing sequence of the ocean in Malibu. The contrast between these two distant landscapes unfolds with restraint and rhythm, emphasizing texture, light, and the passing of ordinary moments.

Conceived as the first volume in an ongoing series that embraces this precise book structure, Rome – Malibu reflects Marcopoulos’s enduring interest in sequencing, everyday observation, and the material language of the photobook.
