Luzinterruptus: “Deadly Wounded Advertisements”

Autsch, tödlich verwundete Werbeplakate – die neue Intervention von Luzinterruptus: “Madrid is full of advertisements, have a walk around the city centre to check it out. And it is the public space which is highly considered by advertisers where there is nothing that police and cleaning services can do to keep them under control. It has always surprised us the way in which the posters accumulate one on top of another and there are places which -due to theirs strategic position- have over 25 layers of poster paper. And all these stuff has led us to consider how much the walls suffer and because of this pain, huge bruises open up in their surface, making them expell blood and fire. To stage this idea, we have gone out onto the streets with our lights. We have intervened them with just paper, lights and a little paint, and over those large advertising surfaces which are stuck to the walls.” Mehr von Luzinterruptus hier, hier und hier. Via

Luzinterruptus: “Packaged vertical garden”, 2010

Die neue Licht-Intervention von Luzinterruptus in Madrid: “Criticism, of a humorous tone, at the lack of green spaces in large contemporary cities. With the installation Packaged vertical garden, we wanted to promote the preservation of urban greenery, because if we continue to eradicate it from public spaces or reducing it to inaccessible vertical faces, the only form of contact with nature will be in supermarket refrigerators, packaged with expiry dates.” Via: Mail

Luzinterruptus: “Urban Hemorrhage”, 2009

Blood on the Bürgersteig: Neue Lichtinstallation der spanischen Gruppe Luzinterruptus – “Urban Hemorrhage“. “We expected a day of heavy rain and we went out to look for puddles on the pavement. We chose a conflictive zone, the May the 2nd Plaza, in the past the scene of the famous and bloody execution of 1808 and in the present scenes of violence and repression are still being played out there against those that drink in the streets. We only had to dye the water red and put our lights in it to simulate the blood that flowed over the pavement, creating a most dramatic effect. As it rained, it seemed that the water fell red from the sky and when it stopped, it was as if the ground was seeping blood that was flowing to the sewers.” Mehr Bilder hier, mehr über die Gruppe auch hier, hier und hier.

Luzinterruptus: “Public Toilets”

Wieder eine neue Lichtinstallation von Luzinterruptus: “Public Toilets“. “We carried 80 male urine containers, the ones used in hospitals. Inside we poured yellow water and, what else but our lights. (…) Through our installation, public toilets, we have tried to attract attention -in a comical manner- about the problem we encounter when walking in centric streets and squares. Its purpose is to remind people who have this custom and also institutions so that a solution is found –perhaps by using urban furniture where people can urinate without bothering others, in case of extreme urgency.” Mehr zu Luzinterruptus hier und hier, vgl. das Thema “Urinieren” auch hier.

Luzinterruptus: “Lifeless Square”

Neue Intervention der spanischen Licht-Künstler Luzinterruptus: So schnell verwandelt sich ein toter Platz in einen Friedhof. “We pray that when the squares in Madrid are rehabilitated, they are not turned into big grey slabs of stones, without the slightest hind of green on its surface. However, up until now our own prayers have been unsuccessful, as they are always changed into big colourless slabs resembling tombstones, poorly suited for children to play, but ideal to place tacky flea markets that reinvent public spaces into commercial areas. An example of these kind of bleak squares is Plaza de Cabestreros in Madrid, where even the benches have a funeral appearance. Making people leave the place shortly after they arrive. Its tombstone shape in life-like size, its coldness and all in an unfortunate line, inspired our intervention Lifeless Square, which we carried out on the early morning on 8th July and in which we recreate easily a graveyard with 12 inhabited tombstones.” Via: Mail
