Born of the encounter with a lovely octogenarian vacationer, the series PLAYTIME poses a tender and playful look on the community of the golden age while pushing the taboos around the passage of time.
While I was in Florida to make a documentary about the snowbirds (Quebec retired community that migrates under the coconut trees to avoid the harshness of Quebec winters), it was after a festive evening at the bingo that I met Yvette. Quickly, a sincere friendship is born between us. This is followed by many trips under the palm trees in search of colorful decors matching our identical outfits in order to create funky stagings photos. Accomplices and coquettish, the two ladys thus become the twins of Hallandale, timeless characters abstracting from the half century that separates them,
PLAYTIME reflects the spirit of those recreational societies to which these migratory birds fly in search of a terrestrial paradise before the heavenly.
