Looking like something out of a long-forgotten version of the future, Polish artist Piotr Janowski is the man behind the foiled train.
Dubbed Get off (Łódź Fabryczna), Janowski especially designed this piece for the opening of the new train station. It is a reflection of the turbulent history of the city and its bright future.
Piotr gained international fame last year when he covered his Florida home completely in aluminium foil. The windows, doors, walls, driveway, and even the palm trees were covered in glittering metal.
Piotr and his team of 14 assistant–students from the local academy of fine arts–covered the 13,5 metres long locomotive with approximately 360 square metres of Reynold’s heavy-duty aluminium foil. The entire process took four days.
