In this project, a house has been “dropped” upside down on the roof of the Viennese Museum of Modern Art; The art is a project, entitled House-Attack by top local sculptor Erwin Wurm from EuroPics. It is supposed to look as if the house has fallen out of the sky and landed on the famous museum in the center of the Austrian capital. It took two cranes to put the huge sculpture into place, which is complete with a red roof, window boxes and a TV antenna. There are another solutions inside. Apparently, the artist said his work was a statement against over-development, he also said: “There are hundreds of thousands of houses and they are spreading like a plague, like a cancer across our land.” Weird statement or what?! Where should we live… under the bride?
this is odd… its not really an illusion
wow…………………..ok………………..it cool…..i gess
Well…I’ll be a rebel and say I think it’s really cool. His reasoning for it is a bit strange though…if there’s no one living in your land, no one’s gonna look at your museum…
Although I don’t get those helicopter things…
Think, if they would just tear down the museum, they could probably build another 6 or 8 houses on that same land and ease the “artists” concerns regarding overbuilding!!
Is that Ripley’s museum? I have a book and you should see how the ripley museums look like!
i think it is :D im a good ripleys fan :D i have all the books :D
Nice can some one do that to a bully’s house ;]

wats the illusion with the helicopter? i just dont get that one
I quite enjoy being under my bride. Not sure if I would want to live there though.
I find stuff like this really cool! But I don’t get the helicopter things. Is it showing how they put it up there?
theres a house on a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think his concerns are with the fact that we have more empty rooms for sale than we have homeless people in the world and yet new houses are still being built
