Heureka by Jean Tinguely
|
|
In 1964 Jean Tinguely created his Heureka for the Swiss National Exhibition in Lausanne, which was later relocated to the Zürichhorn. His "meta-machines" are understood all over the world as allegories of a consumer and industrial society which, having exhausted itself in hectic activity, is in the final instance absolutely absurd.
