" Luzinterruptus , we are an anonymous artist collective, we carry out urban interventions in public spaces. We use light as a feedstock and night as a canvas.
The three components of the team come from fields such as art, lighting and photography and we wanted to apply our creativity in a joint action, leaving lights on in the city so that other people put them.
began to act on the streets of Madrid in late 2008 with the simple idea of \u200b\u200bputting a bright focal point to problems found in the city and that seem to go unnoticed by the authorities and citizens.
But not everything we do has a point subversive, sometimes we just want to embellish, or taking of anonymity, places, or places that seem special or objects that grant special artistic value, but have been left to chance, on public streets without any artistic intention, by anonymous people.
And all this we did with the material that we know best and most inspired, the light, as well as providing a great visual impact, allows us to make minimal interventions in some cases and in others more extensive, without damaging the furniture without depriving urban scenario to work with other artists or the users of a common space, which is scarce in major cities.
addition to light, trash, recycling, and holding simple materials from the surroundings are our inspiration, life in the city, the use of public spaces, inhospitable environments, nature, social demands, our horse battle.
Our interventions are extremely ephemeral, often take time to disappear within an hour since our little gizmos lights, waking up in the late-night viewers, a great desire to be with them. This does not concern us at all, quite the contrary, it is interesting that someone can interpret what we have left in the street, is a small present for which he was lucky to find it. "
