Description
Summary:The anonymous artist collective Luzinterruptus is profiled. Based in Madrid, Spain, Luzinterruptus stages monumental urban interventions that focus on political and environmental issues. Their name comes from the Spanish word for "light" (luz), and the Latin word interruptus, meaning "interrupted." The group creates large-scale installations that use light to transform common objects like books or plastic bags into evocative, glittering artworks. Luzinterruptus prefers to share their ideas directly with the public and people on the street. Their work prompts viewers to contemplate issues, often ecological, that concern the public. Major projects include Literature Versus Traffic, Plastic Waste Labyrinth, and Plastic Islands.
