Fake Holiday by DYDS Studio

Fake Holiday by DYDS Studio
Inspired by Roman Holiday, "Fake Holiday" is a playful and poetic public art installation that transforms everyday office objects — desks, keyboards, time clocks, and mice — into interactive art pieces that offer comfort and whimsy. Set on a rolling grassy field, the installation reimagines office spaces scattered across the landscape, as though white-collar workers have accidentally found themselves on a spontaneous escape. The cow and horse-shaped rockers are not just playful elements, but opportunities for visitors to relax and reconnect with their childlike wonder.

The installation carries a simple yet powerful message: even under pressure, we have the right to smile, dream, and stretch out. We should take moments to relax, let our imaginations run free, and breathe deeply.
