Packaged vertical garden de Luzinterruptus

Les designers de Luzinterruptus ont recouvert un mur de Madrid d'emballages alimentaires transparents contenant des feuilles et des branches issues de la végétation environnante. Une installation lumineuse éphémère, décalée et militante.

Sur cette installation, Luzinterruptus précise:

"Criticism, of a humorous tone, at the lack of green spaces in large contemporary cities.  With the installation Packaged vertical garden, we wanted to promote the preservation of urban greenery, because if we continue to eradicate it from public spaces or reducing it to inaccessible vertical faces, the only form of contact with nature will be in supermarket refrigerators, packaged with expiry dates.

In general, it is more comfortable for city planners to build inhospitable cement spaces, where there is no need for special care, than to design green spaces where the citizens can spend their time and enjoy public places.  In addition, we have noticed the increasing proliferation of vertical gardens, which are interesting decoratively speaking, but expensive to maintain and with which the citizens cannot interact or put to real use, being a minimal attempt at providing greenery, but in an inaccessible and artificial way…

For this installation we used 110 transparent food packaging containers, inside which we put leaves and branches found in the trees in the area and lights of course. Afterwards, we placed them on a wall in an ugly square in the center of Madrid and there we left our form of fashionable vertical garden.

Time of installation: 3 hours / Damages: none / Exhibition time: 24 hours"
