SPACE is a 90 meters long artwork offering a new experience of light and space at Eindhoven Station in the Netherlands. Walking past the artwork, you experience new dimensions of light, just as an astronaut circling around planet Earth.

Roosegaarde and his team of designers and experts worked on a specialised lenses printing technique and LED to create illusions of depth. During months, images of the Earth recorded by NASA satellites were digitally edited into a composite 3D space by the team of Studio Roosegaarde, similar as the craftsmanship of historic frescoes painters.
The artwork was commissioned by the Municipality of Eindhoven, ProRail and NS (National Dutch Railways) to enhance the experience of the restored passenger tunnel of Eindhoven Central Station. SPACE shows the impact of light on our planet and creates a place of wonder. SPACE is located in the old passage of Eindhoven station and is part of the station renovation by ProRail, Heijmans and Arcadis. The artwork, commissioned by ProRail and the Municipality of Eindhoven in collaboration with Studio Roosegaarde, Heijmans and Arcadis, is open to all from the 11th of October 2017.
