The first part of the artwork Body and Mind was unveiled on Tuesday afternoon at the bus station at Utrecht Central Station. In the end, various works by the team of artist Gabriel Lester will be presented on both the Jaarbeurs and Centrum sides. The idea is that this will make the bus station more colorful and lighter in the future.
Photos taken by Niels Stomps will be placed on the Center side of the bus station. Lester has asked him to make colorful group portraits of residents and travelers. This is the 'Body' section.
In addition to the images, there will also be more lighting at the stations. This highlights the works and also the places themselves get more lighting. “We turn a gray mouse into a colorful chameleon,” says the alderman.
Lester made Body and Spirit for the municipality and province of Utrecht. The entire project is expected to be completed by October this year.
