Last December, we were invited to participate in the festival F\u00eate des Lumi\u00e8res 2024<\/a>,<\/a> and we decided to present a new version of our work \u00abPlastic Island\u00bb<\/strong>, an installation we have developed in several cities<\/a>, adapting it to different contexts and spaces.<\/p>\n

When we first created this project in 2014, it was a direct statement about the plastic islands floating in the oceans<\/a>\u2014dramatic monuments to our irresponsible consumption. In subsequent editions, we sought to bring this issue to urban environments, choosing water spaces such as ornamental fountains to recreate these artificial islands and connect spectators to the problem in their daily lives, far from the oceans.<\/p>\n

This time, the setting was an ornamental fountain in the magnificent Parc de la T\u00eate d’Or in Lyon<\/a>, a place renowned for its well-maintained natural surroundings and harmonious beauty. The installation, composed of 15,000 plastic bottles sourced from a local recycling plant in Lyon, created a powerful contrast between the park\u2019s serenity and the rawness of the illuminated plastic. To amplify this impact, we kept the labels on the bottles, allowing visitors to recognize the brands and products they use daily. Naturally, once the installation was dismantled, all the materials were returned to the recycling plant, ensuring the piece adhered to our sustainability principles.<\/p>\n

This work reflects our philosophy of creating site-specific installations, designed specifically to integrate with and engage in dialogue with the space in which they are presented. To achieve this, we always strive to use locally sourced materials and collaborate with local suppliers, minimizing the transportation footprint and strengthening the connection between the work and its environment. In this case, the combination of the fountain\u2019s water, the plastic, and the park\u2019s cared-for natural setting resulted in a unique installation that could not have had the same meaning elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The lighting, designed with low-energy LED spotlights, was also part of this sustainable approach. The lights were directed toward the plastic, highlighting its textures and colors, while the surroundings remained dimly lit. This created a contemplative atmosphere that invited the audience to reflect on their relationship with plastic in everyday life.<\/p>\n

We would like to thank the Festival F\u00eate des Lumi\u00e8res for including a work like this in its program. While not a traditionally spectacular installation, it addresses urgent environmental issues that society must confront. At a time when sustainability is being sidelined in many political agendas, we especially value the festival’s decision to provide space for works that encourage reflection on environmental impact and climate change\u2014topics that are not always easy to address in public spaces.<\/p>\n

With this installation, we aimed to keep the conversation about the environment alive, reminding people that art can be a powerful tool to highlight urgent problems. Although the future of these themes in public events seems increasingly uncertain, we remain committed to creating works that not only generate visual impact but also serve as a call to action. As long as we can, we will continue working to ensure these conversations are not silenced.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the festival team for programming us, to our producers BAAM Productions<\/a> for making the piece happen and to Melisa Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> for the photos.<\/p>\n

El pasado diciembre, fuimos invitados a participar en el festival <\/strong>F\u00eate des Lumi\u00e8res 2024 <\/a>y decidimos presentar una nueva versi\u00f3n de nuestra obra \u00abIsla Pl\u00e1stica\u00bb<\/strong>, una instalaci\u00f3n que hemos desarrollado en varias ciudades<\/a>, adapt\u00e1ndola a diferentes contextos y espacios.<\/p>\n

Cuando comenzamos este proyecto en 2014, lo hicimos como una denuncia directa a las islas de pl\u00e1stico que flotan en los oc\u00e9anos<\/a>, aut\u00e9nticos monumentos dram\u00e1ticos de nuestro consumo irresponsable. En ediciones posteriores, trasladamos esta problem\u00e1tica a entornos urbanos, buscando espacios de agua como fuentes ornamentales para recrear estas islas artificiales y conectar a los espectadores con el problema desde su vida cotidiana, lejos de los oc\u00e9anos.<\/p>\n

En esta ocasi\u00f3n, el escenario fue una fuente ornamental en el magn\u00edfico Parc de la T\u00eate d’Or <\/a>\u00a0en Lyon, un lugar renombrado por su cuidado entorno natural y su belleza armoniosa. La instalaci\u00f3n, compuesta por 15.000 botellas pl\u00e1sticas<\/strong> provenientes de una planta de reciclaje local en Lyon, genera un poderoso contraste entre la serenidad del parque y la crudeza del pl\u00e1stico iluminado. Para reforzar este impacto, conservamos las etiquetas de las botellas, permitiendo que los visitantes reconocieran las marcas y productos que consumen a diario. Por supuesto, al desmontar la instalaci\u00f3n, todo el material fue devuelto a la planta de reciclaje, asegurando que la pieza cumpliera con nuestros principios de sostenibilidad.<\/p>\n

Esta obra hace honor a nuestra filosof\u00eda de trabajo, basada en la creaci\u00f3n de piezas site-specific, dise\u00f1adas espec\u00edficamente para integrarse y dialogar con el espacio en el que se presentan. Para ello, siempre buscamos emplear materiales del comercio local y colaborar con proveedores de la zona, minimizando la huella de transporte y reforzando la conexi\u00f3n entre la obra y su entorno. En este caso, la combinaci\u00f3n del agua de la fuente, el pl\u00e1stico y la naturaleza cuidada del parque dio lugar a una instalaci\u00f3n \u00fanica que no habr\u00eda tenido el mismo significado en otro lugar.<\/p>\n

La iluminaci\u00f3n, realizada con focos LED de bajo consumo, tambi\u00e9n forma parte de este enfoque sostenible. Las luces estaban dirigidas hacia el pl\u00e1stico, resaltando sus texturas y colores, mientras el entorno permanec\u00eda tenuemente iluminado, creando una atm\u00f3sfera reflexiva que invita al p\u00fablico a cuestionar su relaci\u00f3n con el pl\u00e1stico en la vida cotidiana.<\/p>\n

Queremos agradecer al Festival F\u00eate des Lumi\u00e8res por incluir una obra como esta en su programa. Aunque no es una instalaci\u00f3n espectacular en el sentido tradicional, aborda temas medioambientales urgentes con los que la sociedad debe comprometerse. En un momento en el que la sostenibilidad est\u00e1 siendo relegada en muchas agendas pol\u00edticas, valoramos especialmente que el festival brinde espacio a obras que permiten reflexionar sobre el impacto ambiental y el cambio clim\u00e1tico, temas que no siempre son f\u00e1ciles de tratar en el \u00e1mbito p\u00fablico.<\/p>\n

Con esta instalaci\u00f3n, hemos querido mantener viva la conversaci\u00f3n sobre el medioambiente, recordando que el arte puede ser una herramienta poderosa para visibilizar problemas urgentes. Aunque el futuro de estas tem\u00e1ticas en eventos p\u00fablicos parece incierto, seguimos comprometidos con la creaci\u00f3n de piezas que no solo generen impacto visual, sino que tambi\u00e9n sirvan como un llamado a la acci\u00f3n. Mientras podamos, seguiremos trabajando para que estas conversaciones no se apaguen.<\/p>\n

Gracias al equipo del festival por programarnos, a nuestros productores BAAM Productions<\/a> por sacar adelante la pieza y a Melisa Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> por las fotos.<\/p>\n
