MADCAP Sheffield artists Terry Slater and Horatio Eastwood spent all night building a house out of wooden palettes in the middle of Berlin . . . and then what happened?
The cops came and told them to take it down!
That put another artistic effort out of joint.
A group called Going Nowhere had planned to make and sell egg and cress sandwiches from Terry and Horatio's house!
The "performance," at the New Life
Berlin Art Festival, was funded by the British taxpayers at a cost of almost £5,000.
Just over a year ago the pair, who work under the title No Fixed Abode, hired a caravan to tour Sheffield's housing estates showing short films as Britain's smallest cinema.
Terry and Horatio called their project Caban Unnos, which is, apparently, based on an old Welsh law which says if you can build a house in a day and have smoke coming out of the chimney 24 hours after you started you can keep the land.
The pair were seen on German TV directing helpers build the strange looking structure from the palettes, plastic water coolers and bricks and pipes on land at the German capital's Alexanderplatz.
Police had watched the house go up during the night but when the shift changed the new lot make them demolish the house!
