Anti-Trafficking Literature is a current project by Luzinterruptus, a anonymous group that takes to the streets with urban bets in public spaces. A message protests that the streets are more a space for people than that for cars and all kinds of transport vehicles that are usually based on fossil fuels.
In their latest installation, the art collective transformed one of Toronto's busiest streets into a river of 10.000 books, as can be seen in the images we share from Creativos Online. As you can see, the result is simply spectacular and forms a special way of showing those central streets of a big city like Toronto.
This artistic proposal was part of Nuit Blanche 2016, an art festival that takes place over the course of one night. The books were donated by Salvation Army and 50 volunteers worked for 12 days to fill Hagerman Street with a river flowing through hundreds of illuminated books.
As they claim from their website, the group indicates as an area of a city, which is reserved for noise, speed and pollution becomes, for one night, a space for silence, calm and enlightened coexistence that comes from the pages of all those thousands of books. The books will be there for all those who want to read them so the artistic proposal will recycle itself until passersby want it.
In the end, these ideas were on the streets for ten hours, but surely the citizens of Toronto they will remember her for longer by lighting its streets in another very special and surprising way.
You have the web by luzinterruptus y on Facebook for follow them on their new adventures and surprising artistic proposals.
