Assuming that immobility does not exist, this sculptor is fascinated by machines. By mocking society and its many laws and kingdoms, he proves the pointlessness of such structures. In a lyrical manner, he both glorifies and scorns the established order. His work depicts an ecstatic moment of anarchy. The wooden construction, with its iron and rubber parts, moves in a Dadaist manner, accompanied by the concerting sounds of cracking material. Just as he did with his drawing art machine, JeanTinguely scoffs at the process of wear and the self-destruction of an industrialised era.
