Le Cyclop

Von

This beautiful 'monster' is made by the couple Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely, together with invited friends. It acts as a sculpture, theater requisite and performance at the same time.
It's body is organized around a single 'Promenade Architectural', which is guiding people up and down through the installation, giving away views to the surrounding and into it's art collection.
A ball track is running through the entire piece. It seems to visualize the promenade and to stimulate people entering. It works!
