About project

What does happiness look like? Perhaps like a flash of light. Or a fleeting moment when everything falls into place. The installation Happiness was created in collaboration between the creative studio Monument Office, Signal Festival, and Sazka, part of Allwyn, shaping a space where light becomes a symbol of hope, stories, and chance. Look into the glowing lenses, find your reflection, take a photo, and let happiness smile back at you. Each lens contains a real human story. By scanning the QR code next to a lens, you can step inside these stories. Perhaps today you too will shine, or maybe you are already standing in the light of your own happiness.

Allwyn is a global lottery company that connects millions of players through innovation, modern technologies, and a responsible approach, changing lives across leading markets in Europe and the USA. With more than 130 million players, it not only provides entertainment but also makes significant contributions to charitable causes. The company believes that lotteries and iGaming can be a driving force in creating opportunities that change lives for the better—not only for winners.

Its Czech branch, Sazka, is the country’s largest and oldest lottery company.

Location

Republic Square is situated on the site of a former moat between Prague’s Old Town and New Town. This large open space near the medieval city centre sparked the development of many significant buildings at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, including the Municipal House, the Powder Tower, the U Hybernů House and the Jiří of Poděbrady Barracks. Today, the square is largely a pedestrian zone, and in the future it will be transformed into the Hradební Corso—an urban boulevard and promenade tracing the path of Prague’s historic city walls.
