TURNING THE PLACE OVER
LIVERPOOL, 2008

The work consists of a vast 10 metre diameter ovoid section of the facade of a currently disused building. This section of facade will be cut free to allow it to rotate.
This ovoid section of façade is then mounted on a central spindle, aligned on a specific angle to the building. When at rest the ovoid section of façade would fit flush into the rest of the building. The angled spindle is, however, placed on a set of powerful motorised industrial rollers, and will rotate. As it rotates, the facade will not only become completely inverted but will also oscillate into the building and out into the street, revealing the interior of the building, and only being flush with the building at one point during its rotation. This will create an acute sense of disorientation and even danger for the viewer as the architecture physically encroaches on them.
