Turning the Place Over

Turning the Place Over - Richard Wilson, 2007 from Liverpool Biennial on Vimeo.

Turning the Place Over by Richard Wilson was an installation commisioned for the Liverpool 2008 Biennial. He made an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool city centre and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing ‘window’, offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours.

that was kinda trippy, at first it didn't seem real and you'd think it was a CGI, very cool...hopefully it doesn't do that when it rains lol...
