Turning the Place Over is an adventurous architectural piece by UK artist Richard Wilson. A "radical intervention into architecture" Wilson turned a building in Liverpool’s city center literally inside out. It runs in daylight hours, triggered by a light sensor. Turning the Place Over consists of an 8 meter diameter ovoid cut from the facade of the empty Yatess Winery building in the Liverpool city center and was made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving facade rests on a specially designed giant rotatory, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing ‘window’, offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle.
