Lichtinstallation Passarelle

Description

The light installation in the pedestrian underground passage at Essen Central Station is an over 80-meter-long, wave-shaped LED glass wall that illuminates the underground connecting tunnel between Willy-Brandt-Platz and the subway tracks. The installation consists of approximately 3,000 RGB LED lights located behind a curved profiled glass wall. The wall does not simply glow; it displays changing, flowing color patterns and programmed light scenes. It is intended to give the formerly gloomy underpass a friendly, modern atmosphere and increase passengers’ sense of safety.

In 2013 I started with a new hobby. In the beginning it was difficult to get reliable information how to find streetart in public space. In 2016, I had the idea of sharing my information with other street art enthusiasts and started my blog “Streetartwalks”. When I found out about this new street art community at the beginning of 2018, I was immediately on board.
