SPACE
Dimension of light at Eindhoven Central Station.
SPACE uses advanced 3D lenticular printing techniques and LED technology to create a 90-meter artwork that offers a hologram-like experience. Studio Roosegaarde meticulously transformed NASA satellite images of Earth into a 3D composite, reminiscent of historic fresco painters' craftsmanship. As you walk by, shifting perspectives reveal new images, much like an astronaut circling the Earth.
Located in the restored passage of Eindhoven Central Station, SPACE was commissioned by the Municipality of Eindhoven, ProRail, and NS. The artwork enhances the passenger experience, transforming the transit tunnel into an immersive environment as part of the station's renovation by ProRail, Heijmans, and Arcadis.
SPACE not only beautifies the station but also encourages travelers to reflect on the relationship between light and Earth. Its dynamic visuals invite contemplation of our planet's fragility.
Through SPACE, Roosegaarde turns a functional space into a place of awe, inspiring travelers to experience their journey with wonder and curiosity.
SPACE, created in 2017, is a 90-meter wall made of 3D lenses, LEDs, and non-reflective glass, embedded into the architecture of Eindhoven Central Station.
SPACE is commissioned by the Municipality of Eindhoven, ProRail, and NS.
