Premiering in the UK for the very first time, House of Cards is a multi-sensory display that will mesmerise in the day and light up the night. The public art display consists of 128 LED light boxes in the form of playing cards, which in turn (or all at once) appear according to a preconfigured choreography. Will it blow away or continue to rise up towards the heavens? The fate of the house of cards wobbles between the two. Up or down – it’s far from decided.
For now, House of Cards remains standing, shining in the night, reaching for the stars. 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.
Creating a House of Cards is not about a fragility, disaster or crumbling, it is about the motivation of every child: to dare, take courage, to create and challenge one’s skills, risking and aiming to build as high as possible. It requires not only determination, caution, calm and skill but also belief and trust, keeping the big vision in mind.
Every card of House of Cards has a different design. For this, OGE architects collaborated with more than 35 internationally acclaimed street and visual artists from all over the world, creating one big joint art exhibition, carefully curated and crafted.
You are invited to walk around and enjoy the cards building up and discover all the different fantastic artists – all combined in one House of Light!
The appearance of House of Cards at Lightpool Festival is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
