Luzinterruptus

We are in Brixen (Italy) for the , presenting our installation On Blank Pages, right in front of the cathedral.

This year the festival invites artists to reflect on “Imagine Peace.” Our piece has always been conceived as a wall of free expression, a place where people can write freely and anonymously in public space. For this edition, the blank pages become an invitation to imagine and share thoughts about peace.

Thousands of pages form a luminous surface where words, drawings and reflections accumulate over the days. Moved by the wind, they constantly rearrange themselves, creating an ever-changing collage of voices.

The piece works just as well during the day, and to our delight many children have been stopping by to leave their contributions.

The installation will be there until May 16. If you pass by, leave a message!

Many thanks to the organisation and the technical team for trusting us and making this possible.

Last March we presented in Madrid Hanging Landscapes. A low-tech intervention made with white fabric, wind, light and the scent of clean laundry, as part of the LuzMadrid 2026 festival. It gave us particular pleasure to do it in the city where we live and where we have been working since the beginning.

Hanging Landscapes brings back an image that belongs to the collective imagination: white sheets stirred by the wind, hanging in the sun, carrying the scent of clean laundry and crossed by clear light. A scene linked to childhood, to the home and to everyday life.

But this image also allows us to remember those who for generations worked under hard and almost always invisible conditions: the washerwomen of the Manzanares River.

Well into the twentieth century, many women from Madrid washed clothes by hand in the river or in public washhouses. They walked from their homes carrying large baskets. They spent hours standing or kneeling, scrubbing in cold water, and then hung the laundry out in the sun. It was physically demanding work, poorly paid and rarely acknowledged, yet essential for sustaining the everyday life of the city.

The piece did not attempt to represent this history directly, but rather to recreate the environment that once belonged to it: white laundry in the wind, movement, light and the sound of fabric moving in the air.

During the days of the installation something especially beautiful happened: children understood the piece immediately. They turned it into their playground, running between the sheets as if it were a small labyrinth. In many cases they even encouraged their parents to join in, inviting them to behave like big children for a while.

More than 15,000 people enjoyed the installation during the three days of the festival, a notable figure considering that visitors were invited to stay and enjoy the piece for as long as they wished….
