Complicit: Matthew Morrocco Interview

Complicit: Matthew Morrocco Interview

One of our interns Anthony Huang sat down with photographer Matthew Morrocco, to talk about his installation "Self-Portrait with David", and his recent solo exhibition "Complicit".

Here is Matthew's description about "Complicit": 
For the work I’ve made since 2012 I spent intimate time photographing older men in New York City to learn how to seduce, to age gracefully, to learn about the past. The impact of the education I received in matters of art, lust, and aging, outweighed anything I’ve experienced before or since and has characterized much of my adult life. 
It may have been photography that I meant to inspect but what I found was an essence of human connectivity that extends beyond just sex and lust. I met men in their homes. We had tea, shed tears, shared orgasms and intimate details.
