intervention:

Literature vs. Traffic

I love this simple and beautiful light art intervention by Luzinterruptus.

“We want literature to seize the streets and become the conqueror of public spaces, freely offering to those who walk by a space free of traffic which for a few hours of the night will succumb to the modest power of the written word.

Thus, an urban space conventionally reserved for speed, pollution and noise, for a few hours will become a place of peacefulness, relaxation and coexistence. Illuminated by a soft, diffuse light which makes us feel comfortable, in a pleasant environment, in spite of the chaos which surrounds us. ”

Love this street intervention project – altering public lighting in Tel Aviv’s underground tunnels, giving them a much friendlier aura.
