Kevin Spacey's character "Frank Underwood" may have a plan that could bring down the political system like a "House of Cards" in the eponymous series, but this one in Jerusalem isn't coming down that easy, literally!
OGE Creative Group, an Israel-based architecture firm, has set up a huge 10 x 7 x 5 meter structure in Hurva Square, Jerusalem where 126, 0.9 meter x 1.5 meter card-like structures have been stacked upon each other to look one giant "House of Cards."
The art piece has been installed to be showcased at the 6th Light in Jerusalem Festival, but the structure will be moved all around the globe and each city will see the cards change according to a local significance.
The House of Cards in Jerusalem depicts Biblical Figures, illustrated by Jean David for ElAl Airlines in 1970.
"These cards are so beautiful that we simply had to pile them up...," the official website of OGE Creative Group states.
