Photographer and filmmaker Joannie Lafrenière never travels alone. In her suitcase laden with costumes and accessories, her alter egos eagerly await where the wind will take her. As soon as she drops off her luggage, she spots with her amused eye the vernacular architecture that will enhance her wardrobe, and matches her outfits with humor and a strong taste for kitsch to the landscapes she discovers: her self-portraits are never the result of chance.
In 2016, in Hallandale, a small seaside resort north of Miami, during a filming session on the Snowbirds, Canadian retirees who settle in Florida, mainly during the winter, Joannie Lafrenière meets Yvette, an octogenarian vacationer, among the residents of a mobile home park. A sincere friendship quickly develops between the two women and Joannie invites Yvette to accompany her in her tangy productions. Accomplices and flirtatious, the two ladies thus become the Hallandale Twins, timeless characters, challenging the taboos surrounding the passage of time.
The Playtime series takes a tender look at the "golden age" and the leisure societies to which these migratory birds fly each year in search of an earthly paradise before the celestial one.
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
