Resistance Nest

By  Dominique Rey 2007 - 2013

Dominique Rey

Photographs of formalised views, taken from within British-built World War Two defence fortifications. The structures are explored as past military observation sites and as potential hides for the voyeur. Once framing the landscape in a series of strategic views, the concrete aperture is itself now in the sights of the camera viewfinder. These images are a parallel perspective to the series 'Widerstandsnest'.
