Ji Lee has launched an open project to photograph and preserve images of the Twin Towers in New York City logos. Says Lee: “After 9/11, I started to notice the Twin Towers in many logos containing the New York City skyline. These were mostly from small businesses: dry cleaners, delis, movers, and so on. I experienced a strange mix of sadness and joy seeing the iconic towers standing there majestically, as if nothing happened.” Pre-empting the eventual disappearance of the logos, Lee has started archiving the logos and is inviting everyone to participate.
