Copenhagen's Havneholmen Metro Station Features Disorienting Art Installation

Copenhagen's Havneholmen metro station, which opened in 2024, features an art installation by the Danish group Superflex designed to disorient passengers.

The installation reimagines the station as if metro trains were traveling at the speed of light, causing gravity and room shape to shift, affecting benches, trash cans, and signage.

The metro operator granted the artists significant creative freedom for the project.

Distorted fixtures are paired with functional versions, ensuring the station remains fully operational for passengers.

The station is located next to the Fisketorvet shopping mall, one stop from Copenhagen Central Station on the M4 line, which operates 24/7.

A valid ticket is required to access the platform, but a glimpse of the installation is possible from the top of the station between the escalators.
