Bratislava landmark features upside-down house embedded in corporate building
An unusual art installation titled ‘House Attack’ has become an iconic landmark in Bratislava, Slovakia. Created by renowned Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, the piece features an upside-down family home that appears to be embedded into the facade of the STRABAG headquarters.
Originally intended as a temporary installation for a five-year period, the artwork has remained on the building for over a decade due to its immense popularity with locals and tourists. The piece explores the conceptual relationship between a modest home and a massive corporate structure, using humor and visual distortion to challenge perceptions of reality.
