Bus-stops
At a bus stop, people usually wait a lot. This makes it an ideal location for a work of art. On Oosterstraat, a news ticker stands between two stainless steel pillars.

Instead of travel information, the site features texts about travel, buses, hearts and lungs. The texts are by the writer Jacques Brooijmans and are often poetic or philosophical in nature. In Oosterstraat, a transparent plastic heart, illuminated by neon, hangs above the pillars. In Gelkingestraat, the street running parallel to Oosterstraat, it is lungs that adorn the tops of the pillars. The organs refer to the centre and the periphery of the city. When you enter the city by bus, you first pass the red heart, a symbol of the city centre and the dynamic activity surrounding it. On leaving the city via Gelkingestraat, the bus passes the green lungs, which symbolise the tranquillity and open spaces of the suburbs.
