3D House of Cards consists of 128 light boxes in the form of playing cards, which in turn (or all at once) appear according to a preconfigured choreography.
The ingenious structure has several levels; it looks like a modern church from one side and from the other like a classical structure of building blocks.
The idea, so the authors, stemmed from childhood memories and playing with their own children. Every card of House of Cards has a different design.
For this Gaston and Merav from OGE have invited 40 friends and internationally acclaimed street and visual artists from all over the world, people who have a special relationship with the city and regard its walls and streets as a canvas upon which to present their work. The result is a stunning new deck of cards that is premiered in Amsterdam.
