His second London installation in barely a month, Alex Chinneck’s “A Pound Of Flesh For 50p”, or The Melting House, is a two-storey building made almost entirely out of wax. Formed of 8,000 wax bricks, the house is part of Merge Festival and will gradually melt over it’s 30-day lifespan. Celebrating the history of an old candle making factory which was based in Bankside a couple of centuries ago, the Melting House is part of the annual Merge Festival and will be on display until November 18th.
