Background information
"The
photo volume 'In Plain Air' is a lyrical portrait of Brooklyn’s
Prospect Park as seen through Irina 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 Irina 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 color 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." (publisher's note, © Mack books,
