10,000 GLOWING BOOKS
That Artistic Duo- Luzinterruptus - you know the ones that make everything GLOw are at it again; this time with their largest installation yet, 10,000 Glowing Books, at the Light in Winter Festival in Melbourne.
The theme of the festival was ‘reading’, so Luzinterruptus was asked to recreate a previous piece they’d done in NY called, Literature vs. Traffic.
The month-long install covered a large strip of Federation Square with 10,000 books outfitted with little light bulbs. For thirty days, people had the opportunity to pick through books that were discarded & donated by libraries, that overflowed out over public spaces and into the streets.
