'Playtime' by Jesse Allan Rozell

‘Playtime’ is an ongoing project which celebrates hedonism, vanity, memory, vibrancy, and chaos – an attractive and sometimes obscured, star-studded view into the men and women of yesterday.

The sourced photos of Playboy and Playgirl’s models of the 1990s are meant to envelop the awareness of fleeting beauty, an experience shared by many when pining for one’s youth.

The abstract manipulation of these images expresses varying degrees of one’s own togetherness and how it is perceived through physical appearance.

‘Playtime’ serves as a time capsule of exuberance that blends the body with disorder, color, and an occasional unclear form. We live in our skin as it fades with us.
