Erwin Wurm is known as an artist who enjoys exploring the boundaries of possible. His latest artistic installation is one of such artworks where you really have to stand and think twice before you are sure that you are not dreaming.

The ‘House Attack’ artistic installation is Wurm’s latest work. It was installed on the external side of the building of Museum Moderner Kunst (MUMOK) in Wien, Austria.

The ‘House Attack’ looks exactly as it sounds. Artist installed a whole house at the upper part of MUMOK building and positioned it so it exactly looks like someone threw the house onto the building.
