Jean Tinguely

In the "Stedelijk  Museum" in Amsterdam I saw the exhibition "Machine Spectacle" of the Swiss artist "Jean Tinguely" ( 1925-1991) .

He is famous for his playful, boldy kinetic machines and explosive performances.

Everything had to be different, everything had to move. And that was excactly what happened, after some time you could  hear a crackling sound and all the items started to move, very hilarious.

If you want to read and see see more about the artist, have a look at the website of the Museum with a short video "here". Linking to "Shadow Shot Sunday"

  10. Very complex and perhaps a satire of its time, but very old fashioned in the digital age.

  11. Dearest Marianne,
    One wonders what some people are able to create with their brain.
    Mind boggling but beautiful for so many, years later to study and admire!
    Hugs,
    Mariette
