Amid the glossy trendy buildings alongside Bajkalská Road, one headquarters stands out—because of an upside-down home that appears prefer it crashed straight into its façade. This whimsical set up, created by Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, is called Home Assault. Wurm posed the playful query: “Can one small home assault an even bigger home?”
The irony runs deep: a modest household residence appears to be colliding with the Slovak headquarters of Strabag Ltd., an Austrian development and engineering big higher recognized for constructing high-rises and large-scale developments. On one other degree, the piece nods to the sophisticated historical past between Austria and Slovakia, with the underdog home showing to strike again at a looming company energy.
Initially supposed as a brief five-year undertaking, the set up has remained for greater than a decade. Wurm has created different variations of Home Assault in Vienna and Buenos Aires, however the Bratislava piece continues to shock passersby and inject a humorousness into the cityscape.
