[Installation Art] Book River

A Book River

Luzinterruptus makes the street become the library

                                  The smell of books likes a kind of perfume;
                                  The contents of  books beyonds the earth's vest.



Have you ever seen a Book River? 
If you visit Melbourne in June this year, you will see such a magnificent books scene on  the city streets. In order to celebrate The Light in Winter festival, the Spanish art group Luzinterruptus accepted the invite to create a literariness of installation art.





The Luzinterruptus collects 10000 books and lights them on the street. The books are all donated from public library. 








A million of books makes the streets become a bright flood.









On the last night of display, you can bring "your" books come back home.





The srteets are full of books, this scene really likes a huge library into the city and people's life. A good book always like a key with a strong power, it can shares people happiness and brings people out of dilemma.

  1. Wow, that is pretty cool! I wonder how the pedestrians feel about it? Reminds me of Richard Serra's infamous Tilted Arc that forced people to walk a new route. Some people liked it, others didn't like the disrupt to their commute :)
