Spanish band known from previous publications Luzinterruptus continues to amaze with its new installations. The creative team's latest piece has transformed the Victoria and Albert Museum's courtyard into a makeshift cemetery, filling it with reclining glowing figures.
To create the installation, the authors had to visit a sex shop and purchase a hundred inflatable dolls there. Then the rubber girls were dressed up in black suits and placed inside large trash bags along with LEDs. By the way, the authors carefully thought out all the places for the light sources so that their work did not just look like a heap of luminous packages, but it was clear that a human figure lies inside each bag.
Initially, it was thought that the dolls would not lie, but stand in various poses, but the night wind unceremoniously intervened in the creative plans and “put an end to an unexpected aspect of the installation, turning it into a dramatic graveyard of shadows awaiting burial”. However, the work still turned out to be quite effective and eerie. And associations with a cemetery, according to Luzinterruptus, are not so out of place, because in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum there is not a single work whose author would still be alive.
The installation, dubbed "Beings packaged in light", is part of the contemporary art program "Winter Light Commissions" hosted by the renowned London museum. Like all the previous works of the Spanish collective, it turned out to be short-lived, having existed for only 4 hours.
