About the artwork
The French artist Adrien Lucca has designed a light artwork for the hall of the Maashaven metro station. The artwork Yellow-free Zone is a lighting installation that replaces the existing lighting of the station hall with a special white light. The lamps developed by Lucca work as an 'analog photoshop filter in real time'. The white light removes the color yellow from all bodies and objects in this zone, creating a 'color blinding' effect. Some objects become more intense in color, while others lose vitality in color. For Lucca, it is a magical play of light and color that questions the viewer's perception of himself and the world. Lucca realized Yellow-free Zone commissioned by Sculpture International Rotterdam in collaboration with the RET and Rib. The artwork became official on December 17, 2018.
