Lev!, Glass art installation at Umeå Railway Station, Sweden
The 170-meter glass wall consists of 186 double glass sheets displaying images of birch forests captured during train rides from Missenträsk to Umeå.
The installation was inaugurated on November 17, 2012, during the Autumn Light festival, marking the reopening of Umeå Central Station.
The artwork honors writer Sara Lidman through recorded poetry readings and discussions about global issues embedded in its audio system.
The installation includes heating benches and LED lighting, providing rest areas while connecting the Railway Station Square to the Haga District.
The glass panels incorporate sixteen audio channels, with four interactive touchpoints that trigger different soundtracks when visitors make contact.
