They Almost Seem To Be Dying Out,

playing cards, 


so many games that use them can now be played on telephones or computers, but if you like using real cards, 

 Yuni Yoshida  has created 54 still life images, each representing a single playing card, 

and plus 2 jokers, 

but here is the thing, 

the photograph on each card has been individually laid out and photographed, 

each unique card made by hand with no digital technology, 

“Playing Cards” was most recently part of Yoshida’s first overseas exhibition at the Seoul Museum in Jongno District, central Seoul. The series has now travelled back to Japan and is on view at the Laforet Museum in Harajuku through December 25, 2023 general admission is 1,000 yen, at today's rate £5.54 or $6.99, also at the museum you’ll find enlarged prints of each card so you see the works in detail, as it happens we have not played cribbage for some time, now where did we put the cards?
