Kristek House, Artistic residential building in Černá Pole, Brno, Czech Republic.

The exterior walls of Kristek House display large paintings of a train and a clock, with two golden hands emerging from the structure holding a tree.

Between 2015 and 2018, Czech artist Lubo Kristek transformed this residential building into a monumental assemblage named Sisyfiade, based on Greek mythology.

The clock system on the facade represents the flow of time with Sisyphus on the minute hand, reflecting philosophical concepts from Albert Camus's writings.

The house opens annually for concerts where visitors can see musical instruments hanging from the ceiling, with access via tram line 5 at Zdráhalova stop.

The painted railway line on the facade represents the former Brno-Tišnov route, connecting the artist's childhood memories with the building's artistic expression.
