Turning the Place Over

In Liverpool, England, theater director Robert sculptor Richard Wilson has created a new temporary public artwork called “Turning the Place Over.” On a building to be demolished, Wilson has caused an 8-meter section of exterior wall to rotate in and out of the façade. The geometry of the rotation is complex and therefore the video is the only way for the virtual traveler to know a little of the work.

    Hi!

    Just to let you know, it’s Richard Wilson, not Robert Wilson, and he’s a Sculptor, not a Theatre Director

    Thanks for the corrections, Sean. I’ve made ‘em.
