“The Wind Brought Us the Crisis” by Luzinterruptus

Luzinterruptus’s focus is on the global economic crisis and the appropriate venue is the steps of the Madrid Stock Exchange. The group used the financial pages from influential newspapers to create a light installation at a spot they believe the virus began to spread, as though borne by the wind.

“Crisis wasn’t a crisis until people who know about it admitted it was. While it was a simple rumour among people who were suffering obvious symptoms. But until the Stock Exchange showed the figures and the mass media echoed the news, the government had to admit the terrifying word. In this manner the crisis began suddenly, like an uncontrolled virus that had been transported by air without warning.”
