Fake Views imagines a Trump-branded America, promised as a return to some past greatness. The series is a ‘continuous monument’ contrived from one of Trump’s signature projects: the 24-karat-gold-infused glass tower. Here, they are (re)envisioned as walls inserted into a collection of images by US artists reflecting on the American landscape and its cultural identity. By obstructing these classic landscapes and creating fake views, we ask how Trump’s vision might play out if he achieves his stated goal, and what his promised greatness might refer to.
