Ananova:

A derelict multi-storey building has become a major work of art in Liverpool city centre.

A 26ft diameter egg-shape cut from the front of a former Yates's Wine Lodge opposite Moorfields Station has been made to oscillate on an axis.

The piece - titled "Turning the Place Over" - has been created by sculptor Richard Wilson for Liverpool's Capital of Culture Year, reports the BBC.

It will remain in place until spring 2008 when the building is demolished.

Richard Wilson is known for his works on architectural canvases which draw heavily for their inspiration from the worlds of engineering and construction.

He said: "We don't often associate these materials with movement but we've made a piece of architecture as an event or as a performance to attract people's attention and prove that Liverpool will be the centre of culture in 2008."

The revolving facade of the building 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.
