Mese: novembre 2016

the catalan artist victor enrich has envisioned a scheme he calls ‘phalus 2020′, which depicts the original white house stacked 13 times on top of itself. the imposing structure mimics the president elect’s residental and hotel schemes, with an oversized golden trump logo crowning the tower. first shot on location in washington dc, enrich then digitally constructed this humorous interpretation of what he imagines the fictional landscape might look like after trump’s presidency
