spanish street artist SpY has lit up the sky in lausanne, switzerland with ‘moon’, a glowing installation of a crescent lunar slice in its first quarter that pierces the landscape. bringing a piece of the urban scene in to the whimsical artwork, an industrial crane holds up the luminaire, suspending it above the swiss city. the artificial moon encourages public participation, asking residents to look to the skies and transforming the night sky into a vibrant beacon for the town and the plaza below.
