Carsten Höller is a German artist currently based in Sweden, is renowned for his exploration of human behavior, perception, and altered states of consciousness. His artistic endeavors blend scientific experimentation with aesthetic expression, resulting in installations and sculptures that challenge conventional boundaries and provoke profound introspection.

At the heart of Höller’s practice lies the concept of Influential Environments – experimental spaces designed to evoke specific emotional and cognitive responses. Through his work, he seeks to induce states of excitement, alteration, doubt, and confusion, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship with their surroundings and themselves.

The Double Club, initially commissioned by Fondazione Prada, made its debut in London from November 2008 to July 2009. Housed in a Victorian warehouse near the Angel tube station, this groundbreaking project served as a dynamic cross-cultural dialogue between Congolese and Western cultures, providing a vibrant communal space where diverse cultural narratives intersected and coalesced.

Now, The Double Club arrives in Los Angeles, bringing with it a site-specific installation that embodies Höller’s signature artistic motifs. Central to this iteration are the themes of division and carnival aesthetics, which manifest in a multifaceted experience that blurs the lines between reality and illusion.

The Los Angeles edition of The Double Club featured two days of musical programming curated by Carsten Höller and the rapper Drake. This collaboration promises an eclectic lineup that mirrors the diverse spirit of the event itself, inviting participants to revel in an auditory journey that complements the visual spectacle.

As Prada Mode continues to push the boundaries of traditional artistic expression, The Double Club stands as a testament to the transformative power of collaborative creativity. Through Carsten Höller’s visionary lens, guests are invited to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery, immersing themselves in this ephemeral realm, where art, music, and culture converge to ignite the senses and expand the boundaries of perception.
