Alex Chinneck of Margate's sliding house makes upside down building for Merge Festival | Mail Online: "The 29-year-old, who lives in Hackney, east London, started work on the piece in October, the day after his 'sliding house' in Margate had been completed.

He has worked with a range of construction companies since October to create the artwork, called Miner On The Moon, on a building in Blackfriars Road, London, which is due to be demolished.

Mr Chinneck said: 'I'm keen on this idea that when people go to an art gallery they go there through choice and they enter into that experience."
