<\/p>\n El pasado mes de junio, nos trasladamos a Melbourne para llevar a cabo una gran instalaci\u00f3n, la m\u00e1s grande hasta ahora para nosotros, dentro del festival \u00a0Light in Winter<\/a>.<\/p>\n La tem\u00e1tica elegida por el festival para este a\u00f1o ha sido \u00abla lectura\u00bb<\/a>, por lo que nos pidieron que llev\u00e1ramos a cabo Literature vs Traffic<\/a>, una pieza que ya hab\u00edamos instalado en New York<\/a> de forma subversiva y que nos ofrec\u00edan la oportunidad de ampliar y hacer crecer durante un mes.<\/p>\n Hasta la otra punta del mundo nos fuimos, pasando del soleado verano madrile\u00f1o a un suave y lluvioso invierno, con la rom\u00e1ntica intenci\u00f3n de convertir la moderna y fr\u00eda arquitectura de Federation Square<\/a>, en un espacio acogedor, humano e \u00edntimo, que invitara a lectura y al recogimiento.<\/p>\n Cont\u00e1bamos para ello con 10.000 libros desechados por bibliotecas p\u00fablicas por considerarlos obsoletos, que el Ejercito de Salvaci\u00f3n<\/a> se encarg\u00f3 de recoger y donarnos altru\u00edstamente, por supuesto, tambi\u00e9n ten\u00edamos nuestras luces y la ayuda de un mont\u00f3n de amigos con la que convivimos durante un mes en los trabajos de ensamblaje e instalaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n \u00bfEl fin de esta pieza?, \u00e9l mismo que el de la primera vez que la llevamos a cabo,\u00a0que un r\u00edo de libros desbordara el espacio f\u00edsico de los peatones y se instalara en el asignado a los coches, robando un preciado suelo al abundante tr\u00e1fico de la zona, en un gesto simb\u00f3lico en el que la literatura se apoderara de las calles y se convirtiera en conquistadora del espacio p\u00fablico, ofreciendo a los ciudadanos, un lugar (no tan grande como nos hubiera gustado) en el que el tr\u00e1fico se retirara para ceder terreno al modesto poder de la palabra escrita.<\/p>\n Conseguimos, despu\u00e9s de una dura batalla contra la climatolog\u00eda, cambiar el aspecto de la plaza, progresivamente durante un mes, conquistamos terreno hasta que la noche del 30 de junio, un carril de la transitada Flinders Street <\/span>pas\u00f3 a ser una sala de lectura iluminada por una tenue luz que palidec\u00eda bajo las potentes pantallas de leds instaladas en la plaza.<\/p>\n Nuestra pieza sirvi\u00f3 de tel\u00f3n de fondo para muchas cosas que pasaron por all\u00ed esos d\u00edas, por supuesto, fue el escenario para multitud de fotos de los curiosos y visitantes, adem\u00e1s estuvo acompa\u00f1ando a muchas otras piezas<\/a> instaladas durante el festival de luz, y para conmemorar el solsticio de verano<\/a> fue utilizada como escenograf\u00eda de la pieza de danza y performance\u00a0Walking Through Words<\/strong>, dirigida por Tony Yap<\/a> y Yumi Umiumare<\/a> en colaboraci\u00f3n con varias comunidades de la ciudad.<\/p>\n La noche final, el r\u00edo desbordado de libros, fue ofrecido a los visitantes que se tomaron su tiempo eligiendo entre los miles instalados los m\u00e1s interesantes para llevarse a casa. Adem\u00e1s 9 artistas de la compa\u00f1\u00eda de\u00a0Yumi<\/a>, llevaron a cabo una improvisada y m\u00e1gica\u00a0performance que termin\u00f3 en una donaci\u00f3n de libros a los ocupantes de los coches que circulaban por los alrededores y que estupefactos abr\u00edan las ventanillas para hacerse con tan misteriosos presentes.<\/p>\n Aunque ha sido una instalaci\u00f3n complicada y con un planteamiento bastante diferente a las modestas y ef\u00edmeras que solemos llevar a cabo, el balance final ha sido muy positivo, sobres todo por todas las personas que hemos conocido y que nos han ayudado<\/a> a que saliera adelante.<\/p>\n No queremos dejar de dar las gracias a todos los voluntarios que generosamente nos donaron su tiempo, a la gente de Fedsquare que nos allan\u00f3 los obst\u00e1culos y que particip\u00f3 activamente en la construcci\u00f3n de la pieza, a los colegas de Guerrilla Lighting <\/a>que nos acompa\u00f1aron con sus linternas, a Fred Kroh <\/a>que nos cedi\u00f3 gran cantidad de material fotogr\u00e1fico, a los artistas que embellecieron la instalaci\u00f3n con sus performances… Unas especial\u00edsimas gracias a \u00a0Alfonso Ruano<\/a> que se fue con nosotros desde Espa\u00f1a y\u00a0sin el cual definitivamente nada de esto hubiera sido posible, gracias amigo y por supuesto a nuestra querida Cristina Curiel, que consigui\u00f3 que todo funcionara a la perfecci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n No nos vamos a olvidar de todo ese tiempo, much\u00edsimo, que hemos pasado mirando libros, pasando hojas y descubriendo secretos olvidados de gente que no conocemos, y pregunt\u00e1ndonos cual fue el criterio que siguieron los bibliotecarios para expulsarlos de sus estanter\u00edas, algunos nos parecieron verdaderamente impresionantes.<\/p>\n Toda una experiencia esta gran instalaci\u00f3n, hemos aprendido muchas cosas interesantes, esperamos que no se nos olviden…<\/p>\n Fotos de\u00a0Gustavo Sanabria<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tiempo de montaje: 30 d\u00edas. ———————————————-<\/p>\n In June, we went to Melbourne to carry out a large-scale installation, our largest so far, at the Light in Winter<\/a> festival.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s theme was \u00abreading\u00bb, for this reason they asked us to recreate Literature vs Traffic<\/a>, a piece that we had previously installed in New York<\/a> in a subversive manner and which they now offered us the opportunity to expand it and make it grow for a month.<\/p>\n To the other side of the world we went, going from the sunny summer in Madrid to a mild and rainy winter, with the romantic intention of converting the modern and somewhat cold architecture of Federation Square<\/a>, into a cozy, human and intimate space, which encouraged reading and tranquility.<\/p>\n We had 10,000 books discarded by public libraries because they considered them to be obsolete, that the Salvation Army<\/a> was responsible for collecting and donating them to us, altruistically of course, we also had our lights and the help of a lot of friends with whom we lived for a month doing the work of assembly and installation.<\/p>\n The objective of this piece? The same as the first time that we carried it out, that a river of books overflowing into the physical pedestrian spaces and installed itself in the space allocated to cars, stealing precious space to the dense traffic in the area, in a symbolic gesture in which literature took control of the streets and became the conquerer of the public space, offering the citizens, a space (not as big as we would have liked) in which the traffic withdrew yielding ground to the modest power of the written word.<\/p>\n We managed, after a tough battle against the weather, to change the appearance of the plaza progressively for a month, and that on the night of June 30, a lane of the busy Flinders Street became a space for reading and coexistence, lit by a dim light that paled under the powerful LED displays installed in the plaza.<\/p>\n Our piece served as a backdrop for many things that happened there during these days. Of course, it was the scene for a multitude of photos taken by the curious and visitors, in addition it was accompanied by\u00a0 many other pieces<\/a> installed during the festival of light, and to commemorate the el summer solstice <\/a> it was used as the stage for the dance and performance\u00a0piece Walking Through Words<\/strong>, directed by Tony Yap<\/a> and Yumi Umiumare<\/a> in collaboration with various communities from the city.<\/p>\n On the final night, the overflowing river of books, was offered to the visitors who took their time choosing the most interesting to take home from the thousands installed there. In addition 9 artists from the company Yumi<\/a>, conducted an impromptu and magical performance that ended in a donation of books to the occupants of the cars that were circulating in the vicinity, who, stupefied opened their windows to receive these mysterious presents.<\/p>\n Although it was a complicated installation, with a quite different approach to the modest and ephemeral ones that we usually carry out, the final balance was very positive, above all because of the people we met and that helped us<\/a> to pull it off.<\/p>\n We want to give thanks for all their help, to all the volunteers that generously donated their time to us, to the people from Fedsquare that smoothed out all the obstacles for us and that participated actively in the construction of the piece, to our colleagues from Guerrilla Lighting <\/a> that accompanied us with their flashlights, to Fred Kroh <\/a>who gave us a large amount of photographic material, to the artists who embellished the installation with their performances\u2026 And special thanks to Alfonso Ruano<\/a> who went with us from Spain and definitely without whom none of this would have been possible, thanks friend and of course, to our dear Cristina Curiel.<\/p>\n Neither are we going to forget the time that we spent looking at books, flipping through their pages to discover the forgotten secrets of people who do not know, and wondering what the criterion was that the libraries followed to remove them from their shelves, some were truly impressive.<\/p>\n A fantastic experience this grand installation, we learned many interesting things, we hope that we will not forget them\u2026<\/p>\n Images:\u00a0Gustavo Sanabria<\/a>.<\/p>\n Time of installation: 30 days.
