'Turning the Place Over' consists of an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a building (Old Yates Wine Lodge) in Liverpool city centre and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, 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 during daylight hours.
It cost about £450,000.
The camera is hand held and there is background noise from the area (it can be turned off). Not bad for a sub £100 stills camera.
