Item Description
THE FORTRESS PROJECT SERIES, PHOTO #2, Framed
Taken from the Latin word Fortris (meaning strong), fortresses are considered to be constructions from centuries past used to help defenders in military battles. Seeing buildings that are reminiscent of fortresses located in today's cities is jarring as they seem both familiar and completely out of place. This juxtaposition forms the basis for photographer Michael Lavine's project: FORTRESS.
Started in 2007, Lavine's photographs of contemporary fortresses, re-imagined for modern day, are shown and acquired through an online gallery collection. "Fortress #2" is a photograph of the John F. Kennedy building in Dallas, TX.

PROYECTO SERIE FORTRESSS, FOTO # 2
Tomado del término en latín Fortris (que significa fortaleza o fuerte), los fuertes son considerados construcciones del pasado utilizados para la defensa durante batallas militares. Ver edificios con reminiscencias de fuertes localizados en ciudades de hoy es discordante ya que nos resultan familiares y a la vez completamente fuera de lugar. Esta yuxtaposición es la base del proyecto de Michael Lavine: FORTRESS.
Comenzado en 2007, las fotografías de Lavine de fuertes contemporáneos re-imaginados para la vida moderna se pueden ver y ser adquiridos a través de una subasta por Internet. "Fortress #2" es una fotografía del edificio John F. Kennedy en Dallas, TX.
