Amazing .....

Using the artist's name, I found:

https://www.dezeen.com/2019/04/09/al...ation-tortona/

British artist Alex Chinneck has unveiled an installation that sees an old Milanese building ripped open by giant zips.

On show on Via Tortona for the duration of Milan design week, the installation sees one of the building's 17-metre-wide facades peeling back, and also creates openings in its interior walls and floor.

I really like it. Unfortunately the enginerd in me is now wondering how it was constructed and what is holding it up.

Thanks for sharing.
