The Rainbow Tunnel of Tel Aviv

A visit to Isreal may now include explicit stops at the open underground tunnels of Tel Aviv, where artists Bar & Shay have been hard at work installing colourful lights to the once dull underpasses. The new makeovers brighten up an otherwise unmemorable experience, and have already received acclaim as a great street intervention project.

Inspired by Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, the artists transformed the bland, uninviting scene above into the brightly lit one below. The rainbow of colours lifts the mood and just makes you want to go through the tunnel with a big grin on your face.
