Concept 3: Gigantic Playing Cards

premise:
A lot of performers earn their pocket money and sometimes their daily bread at the Fountain. If the tourists aren't taking pictures, relaxing or feeding the ducks, they're usually clustered around some performer or the other. Its fun to watch, but what if one could participate?

concept:
The playing cards are modular walls that can be moved around by the visitors. They would have the typical king/ queen/ hearts etc upon them with holes for perhaps from where somebody could stick their head out (and perhaps their friend takes a picture!) The idea is to leave these props out for visitors to play/perform with while we discreetly observe how they are perceived and used throughout the day.

construction:

  • corrugated board
  • colored printouts or paint

location:
At the landing of the right stairway that leads to the fountain
(a) because its a non-intrusive space, yet enuff visitors pass it by
(b) its anticipated that the cards may travel all over the space
