In Central London, a house started melting
According to the Mirror, The three-bedroom Georgian property on Southwark Street is visibly crumbling from the top down after being built from 8,000 bricks cast in paraffin wax.
The house is an art installation entitled 'A Pound of Flesh for 50p (The Melting House)' by Alex Chinneck, which was set up on the street as part of the Merge Festival in honour of an old candle factory based in the near-by Bankside, reports the Mirror newspaper.
The house took 12 months to build while Alex sought to create ''visually convincing wax bricks that transform in the most sculpturally effective way'' and will be situated on the street until November 18
