Dezeen tells me.....
'The exhibition, called The Spyfrost Project, includes compositions made of objects such as washing machines and lawnmowers to produce hybrids of architecture and machinery.
LE Gallery is pleased to present the most recent body of work from Toronto based photographer David Trautrimas. Trautrimas’s most recent series hypothesizes the origins of domestic appliances that defined the zeitgeist of the Cold War era by digitally constructing Top Secret Military outposts out of objects such as lawnmowers, stoves and refrigerators. Fashioned with an aspiring futurism and ominous sense of destructive purpose, these structures capture the paradoxical connection between violence and progression.
Situated in Cold War landscapes, sourced from Trautrimas’s extensive photographic source library, these enigmatic experiments alternate between fiction and historical fact. Balanced between the promised utopian culture of leisure, facilitated by what the latest in modern manufacturing had to offer and the threat of a global catastrophe wrought by ICBM’s, super sonic jet fighters, and spy satellites, this series elicits the tense equilibrium between the extremes of design and technology during the Cold War era.'
