About House

The artwork, titled “House,” created by artist Rachel Whiteread in 1993, belongs to the Post-Minimalism art movement and falls within the genre of installation art.

The artwork itself portrays a concrete cast of a condemned Victorian terraced house located in East London. This striking installation captures the negative space of the internal features of a house, transforming the familiar domestic architectural elements into a monumental solid form. The concrete surfaces reveal subtle impressions of wallpaper, flooring, and other interior details, evoking a powerful sense of memory and absence. The structure’s austere presence amidst the cityscape invokes contemplation on themes of habitation, loss, and the passage of time.
