“The Street Cards” are both a document and an extension of Tobias Kaspar’s “The Street”. Each card has six slots so that the cards me be joined in many different ways – to build houses, towers, bridges – a street with with cafés, restaurants, shoes, a book shop, a gallery, clothes and even trash.
Tobias Kaspar’s “The Street” premiered Spring 2016 for 24h within the Cinecittà Film Studios in Rome and appropriated for the time being the crumbling studio facade street which was originally build for the making of Martin Scorsese's 2002 picture “Gangs of New York”. Each of the 24 colourful cards comes with an unique design – 48 in total – based on photographs of Tobias Kaspar’s “The Street”, to grace bookshelfs around the world and to disappear in kids rooms everywhere, to be played with by adults and children – make your own street.
