Double Happiness

source: boredpanda

Paris-based architect Didier Faustino made this cool swing set out of a converted advertising billboard for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bi-City Biennial of Urbanism and Architecture. Now many people ask to do the same to every billboard in America.
“Double Happiness responds to the society of materialism where individual desires seem to be prevailing over all. This nomad piece of urban furniture allows the reactivation of different public spaces and enables inhabitants to reappropriate fragments of their city. They will both escape and dominate public space through a game of equilibrium and desequilibrium. By playing this “risky” game, and testing their own limits, two persons can experience together a new perception of space and recover an awareness of the physical world,” says the artist on his website.

Parisian architect Didier Faustino turned the skeleton of an advertising billboard into a swingset for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bi-City Biennial of Urbanism and Architecture. Catchy name. The sculpture, which Faustino calls “urban furniture,” is about the reappropriation of public spaces, just like every other art installation since about 2007 or so. Faustino’s piece is a much cooler example of this than most, though. And while it looks rickety and unsafe, we all played on worse as kids.
