GOTHAM SKYLINE IN BELGIUM
(December 1, 2008: Antwerp, Belgium) World renowned
US performance artist and Guinness World Record holder Bryan
Berg spends 10 days in Antwerp this winter, building Gotham
City in playing cards. The project celebrates the digital
tv and dvd release of Batman The Dark Knight, sponsored by
Telenet at Stadsfeestzaal Shopping Center.
The challenge: Construct the Gotham skyline with more than
50.000 playing cards and establish a Belgian record. The deadline
is Wednesday December 10th at 11am- the exact time at which
The Dark Knight will be launched.
This is Berg's first appearance in Belgium, and a card counting
machine will be brought to determine how many cards were used
on the last day. Shoppers can enter a raffle to guess, and
win a millionaire trip to Chicago for star-style treatment
where the film was shot.
