Spooky Gue(ho)st House Draped in a Melted White Veil Opens in France

The delightfully spooky <a href="http://www.cac-synagoguedelme.org/presse/INAUGURATION_GUESTHOUSE/PK_GH.pdf">Gue(ho)st House</a> designed by long-time creative partners <a href="http://www.cbmp.fr/">Berdaguer &amp; Péjus</a> recently opened in France - just in time for Halloween! Formerly a prison, a school and then a funeral home, this extraordinary public art commission is covered in a white veil of high-density polystyrene that drips onto the landscape as well. Taking cues from Marcel Duchamp's wordplay: <em>A Guest + A Host = A Ghost</em>, the duo sought to evoke the ghosts of the building's former incarnations.

The recently-unveiled Gue(oh)st House in France is pretty much the ultimate halloween party house

Formerly a prison, a school and a funeral parlor, Berdaguer &amp; Péjus honors the ghosts of these former incarnations in the new art center

The house was covered in veil of dripping high-density polypropylene, which we realize isn't the world's most sustainable material

The renovation creates a ghostly aura

The new public art commission is located in the far northeastern corner of France

This is what the original building looks like!
