On the street of Blackfriars Road, London, sits a building that looks like it was turned upside down.
Something that would get the fictional couple, Mr and Mrs Twit, from Roald Dahl’s The Twits standing on their heads, the overturned building is actually an installation by London-based artist Alex Chinneck.
Chinneck revamped the façade of the derelict building— that was previously used as a stable to house horses and carriages—to create what he calls ‘Miner on the Moon’.
Miner on the Moon features windows, shopfront signage and doors turned on their heads—but somehow still manages to let the building fit in with the rest of its surrounding.
“I wanted to create an artwork therefore that offered spectacle but was simultaneously subtle,” the artist said, “and by using the material and architectural language of the district the artwork has the ability to disappear into its environment without dominating it.”
