For a long time, we have been working on this line of projects where plastic becomes a symbolic material to speak about overconsumption and the environmental crisis.
Project Name: Plastic Gusts
Studio Name: Luzinterruptus
This is how Plastic Gusts that Occupy the Air was born: a tunnel of wind and light made of thousands of recycled plastic strips. Visitors are invited to walk through a narrow corridor, illuminated and moved by fans, and are forced to feel the touch, smell, and sound of the material.
An immersive and slightly uncomfortable experience that makes it impossible to forget the space that plastic takes up in our lives.
Later on, the idea evolved into Plastic Gusts, conceived for inhabited façades. Here, the building’s openings are filled with lightweight plastics that, agitated by fans, project outward into the street like hypnotic currents, as if the building itself were breathing waste. The atmosphere changes with the light: white and cold, it evokes icy gusts; red, it turns the façade into a fire of plastic waste.
Two versions of the same gesture: making visible, through light and wind, the invasive presence of plastic in our daily lives.
