Artist Alex Chinneck, 28, begun the £100,000 job, referred to as ‘From the knees of my nose to the stomach of my toes’, at the finish of August and has just lately accomplished it in Margate, Kent, England.

10 organizations donated their elements, production abilities and professional products and services to make the sliding facade in Godwin Street in the Cliftonville place of the vacation resort.

Mr Chinneck, who life in Hackney, east London, informed the Day by day Mail: “This idea was wholly self-initiated. In the beginning I needed to do it in London and I wrote to numerous folks to check out to get it off the ground. I was supplied a substantial number of qualities, which includes a multi-storey auto park, but I then determined I needed to do it in Margate simply because I was psyched by the arrival of the Turner Modern art gallery.”
