... ? Potsdamer Platz: Jean TinguelyJean Tinguely started to create his first moving sculptures in 1952 in Paris. In 1960, the artist, who is a friend of Yves Klein, attracted international attention in New York when he allowed an eight meter tall sculpture, made of a variety of objects such as wheels, bath tubs and bells etc., to self-destruct to the sound of its own accompaniment. Tinguely endeavors to get people to interact with his art, to entrance them whilst simultaneously freeing their minds and creatively encouraging conscious political action.
