In Plain Air

Irina Rozovsky In Plain Air
Irina Rozovsky pays homage to the tranquillity of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, one of America’s first democratic public spaces. Rozovsky’s images feature New Yorkers from all walks of life engaging with the space—from families to lovers, of diverse ages, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds.
In Plain Air, which was created over the course of the past decade, shows the sharp contrast between the hurried and hyper-competitive city life and the serenity and beauty of the park. For Rozovsky, the most compelling feature of the park is its visitors, who blend in, share, and actively contribute to its nature as a public space.
