T-CENTRALEN – BLUE LINE

4. Silhouettes

The next floor brings you to your next art experience. You’ll get here by taking the escalators – see the map.

The walls carry illustrations of the people who actually worked on constructing the station. They were put in front of a light so that the artist Per Olof Ultvedt could draw their silhouettes.

The artist had first planned to write out all the names of the construction workers, but he later changed his mind when he realized that putting so many names on the wall of a cave could be reminiscent of a tombstone. That was not what he had in mind.
