The Somewhat Ambitious

Both charming and reckless, this scheme by Spanish company Luzinterruptus grabbed my attention. The premise of the initiative was to make unhospitable corners of the Madrid cityscape appear cosy, and somewhere you’d be nuts enough to curl up and read a book:

“This intervention used light from lamps and books and was carried out during a freezing night in Madrid. The objective of the project was to transform those places which in normal conditions would not catch our eye and we would not like stay there for a long time at night into more comfortable places.”

Cynicism aside, it’s a lovely project and some of the images produced are just gorgeous. I’d hate to be a wandering meth-addicted Spaniard, though; I’d become convinced there was a lamp-fairy stalking the streets, doling out sweet lampy justice, leaving weird blue lamps as a kind of calling card.

Clearly I have a stunning insight into the mindset of todays Spanish meth-addict.
