这是由 LUZINTERRUPTUS设计的澳大利亚墨尔本”文学与交通”景观作品。2012年6月，这次的景观艺术展主题为”阅读”，因此，设计团队们将文学和交通连接起来，在墨尔本街头，展出1个月。公共图书馆将1万多本过时、废弃的图书，捐赠给设计方，在许多志愿者的帮助下，将灯光和书本安装在一起，最终在街头装配完成。该作品利用发光的书籍，制成了一条流淌在人行道上的河流，当然，还是确保了机动车辆的空间。最终，在经历了艰苦的天气和安装过程之后，与6月30日晚上，该作品完全向公众开放。原本繁忙的Flinders街已经成为书籍的长河，蜿蜒而行。在展览的最后一夜，当地民众们可以选择喜欢的书籍带回家。剩余的书籍，也作为惊喜的礼物，悄悄地摆在了附近居民的车上。

This year’s theme was “reading”, for this reason they asked us to recreate Literature vs Traffic, a piece that we had previously installed in New York in a subversive manner and which they now offered us the opportunity to expand it and make it grow for a month.
Literature versus traffic in New York
To the other side of the world we went, going from the sunny summer in Madrid to a mild and rainy winter, with the romantic intention of converting the modern and somewhat cold architecture of Federation Square, into a cozy, human and intimate space, which encouraged reading and tranquility.
We had 10,000 books discarded by public libraries because they considered them to be obsolete, that the Salvation Army was responsible for collecting and donating them to us, altruistically of course, we also had our lights and the help of a lot of friends with whom we lived for a month doing the work of assembly and installation.
The objective of this piece? The same as the first time that we carried it out, that a river of books overflowing into the physical pedestrian spaces and installed itself in the space allocated to cars, stealing precious space to the dense traffic in the area, in a symbolic gesture in which literature took control of the streets and became the conquerer of the public space, offering the citizens, a space (not as big as we would have liked) in which the traffic withdrew yielding ground to the modest power of the written word.
We managed, after a tough battle against the weather, to change the appearance of the plaza progressively for a month, and that on the night of June 30, a lane of the busy Flinders Street became a space for reading and coexistence, lit by a dim light that paled under the powerful LED displays installed in the plaza.
