Collective-LOK’s Heart of Hearts is an installation at Father Duffy Square, between 46th and 47th Street in Times Square that consists of a faceted ring of twelve golden, mirrored hearts, that creates an alternative pavilion that reflects and multiplies the pulsating activity of Times Square, creating a kaleidoscopic interior that dissolves the boundaries between viewing and performing. Within the ring, diamond-shaped spaces inside each heart create six “kissing booths” where couples find their activities mirrored, allowing both privacy and publicity in the Heart of Hearts. This room within the room of Times Square is the most site-specific Heart installation to date and will be the first time a Valentine Heart will reach 10 feet.
Curated by The Center for Architecture, New York – Times Square Arts recently named the installation this year’s winner of the annual Times Square Valentine Heart Design. For more information, please visit the Heart of Hearts website.
