Inspired by the power and drama of Uckange as it used to be, and needing to raise the public's awareness of such a powerful symbol of cultural significance, artist Claude Lévêque has used Thorn products to great effect.

The building is floodlit with a mixture of Mundial (1kW), Qba (150W) and Contrast (70-400W) metal halide floods, creating a glowing, low intensity, light because of the different coloured filters.

The groundbreaking art project has turned an “iron monster” into an aesthetic treasure that recalls an era when the blast furnace's flames and reddish glow lit up the sky.
