Luzinterruptus Proposes Caressing Zone with Hundreds of Fabric Arms
Madrid-based collective Luzinterruptus has proposed "Caressing Zone" (Zona de caricias), an unrealized public installation featuring hundreds of translucent fabric arms suspended above a street. The arms, made from material resembling women's stockings, are lit from within and move in the wind, brushing against passersby. The work critiques the lack of physical contact in urban public space, using fragile, domestic materials at a monumental scale. The collective emphasizes imperfection over anatomical precision, with visible seams and deformations. The piece can adapt to various site configurations. Luzinterruptus describes the gesture as a subversive act of care in a city designed for hardness and control.
