In Plain Air is a lyrical portrait of Brooklyn's Prospect Park as seen through Rozovsky's studies of its visitors, each seeking escape from the din of the city beyond. The seed of the idea for the work was planted ten years ago when Rozovsky took a small motorboat around the park's southern lake. Floating by the tree-lined shore, she saw what first felt like a mirage - families, lovers, friends, a multitude of cultures and ethnicities, all sharing the same land and moment. The quintessential American melting pot that stretched like a panorama in this equalising space was a visible reality. Rozovsky's colour photographs capture the interplay between city and nature, creating a vision of the park as a democratic and nurturing public space, one where the landscape and seasons form a protean backdrop to a complex social reality.

hardcover. Zustand: New. Fotografie a colori e un testo di Irina Rozovsky Una delle cope con firma autografa dell'Artista su tavola a colori applicata in terza di copertina. Cm 24 x 28,5. pp. 96. . Nuovo (New). . Prima edizione firmata (First Signed Edition). . In Plain Air è un ritratto lirico del Prospect Park di Brooklyn visto attraverso gli scatti di Rozovsky sui suoi visitatori, ognuno in cerca della propria via di fuga dal frastuono della città. Il seme dell'idea per il lavoro è stato piantato dieci anni fa, quando Rozovsky noleggiò un piccolo motoscafo per girare intorno al lato meridionale del lago nel parco. Fluttuando lungo la riva alberata, ha visto quello che all'inizio sembrava un miraggio: famiglie, amanti, amici, una moltitudine di culture ed etnie, che condivideva la stessa terra e lo stesso momento. Il melting pot americano per eccellenza, come un panorama in questo spazio di equalizzazione, era una realtà visibile e concreta.Le fotografie a colori di Rozovsky catturano l'interazione tra città e natura, creando una visione del parco come uno spazio pubblico democratico e produttivo, in cui il paesaggio e le stagioni fanno da sfondo a una complessa realtà sociale.
