Jean Tinguely (1925-1991)

Parts of metal scrap become loud and alive through a peculiar kinematics. Through the crank gear the object moves back and forth, the noises of the dragging chain in the foreground represent a chained galley-slave. The object stands below a roof in front of the museum. Every admission ticket into the Jean Tinguely Museum in Basel has a signature in red by Jean Tinguely. (author’s own digital picture supplement, 1999)
