520 A filmed document of Jean Tinguely's self-destructive
sculpture, performed at New York's Museum of Modern Art
March 17, 1960. More than just a document, Breer addds his
own touches to the film by beginning with a collage
animation of the artist opening himself up, showing him to
be made of wheels and gears much like his sculptures.
Tinguely is shown setting the sculpture's mechanisms in
motion. As the gears move and it sets itself on fire, the
sound of the destruction is heard on the soundtrack. Breer
also manipulates the picture and sound, employing
superimposition, fast speeds, and intercutting the
soundtrack with silence and a brief statement by Tinguely
in French, with the voice of a translator relating his
statement in English. At the end, the sculpture is
destroyed.
