The only interesting thing about this 'artwork' is that it sank.

[yevonator88]

Metaphor for the last few years in the American housing market?

[ricardopickman]

This is the craziest performance of the exhibition.

[peterepublica]

Wow, "great" engineering from US!

[Kanoki989]

@peterepublica You are aware the entire city of Venice was sinking at one point? European architecture....

[MarcinP2]

Houses sinking in Venice! Global warming!!!

;)

My uncle was the engineer who planned the whole thing for Bouchet.

The house was sinkin coz of 2 problems:

1: for transporting they didnt put the house onto old tires, and so thei damage 1 of the pontons. That causes the house to swim skew.

the next problem was that the workers forget to close the pontons with the caps. So all the other pontons start to float, too.

So it was a huge fail. but a FUNNY one.^^

Btw: thei got it out with a crane (must hav been very exensive)

[AwesomeTechno15]

did they get it out? or let it sink?

[hbotis]

It was still floating during the preview, but looked kinda sinking.

[BeenInVenice]

ah, venice. its an amazing place.

[seethevolcane]

Sinking house? Metaphor for the

Venice show..perfect!

[gojomo]

My guess is that sinking the house was always part of the original 'performance' plan.

[FlakeSE]

[gojomo]

FYI: interview sound is all from right channel.

[gunsnmonteroses]

[MaryGL]

Pride and soberbia, the worst vices.....

[JHarker97]

Suburbia? I don't think you know what that means. It's an area.

[MaryGL]

SOBERBIA = Superbia = Arrogance

[gojomo]

Suburbriety?

[DemonizingTheEnemy]

He can always say that the sinking house is a symbol of the sinking American dream or give the response your seeing now "boy I feel dumb now."
