    Viewed the sculpture around 2.50 and walked on only to hear it spring into action at 3.00. It quite a surprise to see the different movements.

    Real iron sculpture that starts to move every hour, it turns, raises, does something, but unfortunately only in summer from April to October. It's funny to see that somehow every part is agile, but on the whole nothing does. Typical Tinguely artwork

    A bit disappointed by the fact the construction/ monument machinery has been hidden by a cinema!

    Lovely area to walk around the lake and enjoy the sunset time. The sculpture can be better enjoyed from fall to spring time as during the summer the outdoor cinema is installed next to it.

    Great awesome mechanical structure looks like a plane, train gears and cogs very industrial. Surrounded by picturesque Zurich lake and gardens.

    Sculpture was surrounded by staging for an outdoor event. It wasn't automated.

    (Translated by Google) Encounters with Tinguely are always recognizable because the materials used are largely identical. And yet, every work is unique if you only pay a little attention. The wheels turn like clockwork, but there are different mechanisms that are activated. Heureka is a fitting exclamation whether Tinguely really did it when this work started, is hardly guaranteed. However, since it is moving, it sounds legitimate to me. A Tinguely in Zurich is in the right place. (Original) Begegnungen mit Tinguely sind immer ein Wiedererkennen, da die verwandten Materialien weitgehend identisch sind. Und doch, ist jedes Werk ein Unikat, wenn man nur ein wenig Aufmerksamkeit aufbringt. Die Räder drehen ähnlich einem Uhrwerk, aber es sind jeweils andere Mechanismen die da in Gang gesetzt werden. Heureka ist ein treffender Ausruf, ob Tinguely ihn wirklich tätigte, als sich dieses Werk in Gang setzte, ist wohl kaum verbürgt. Da es sich jedoch bewegt, klingt es mir legitim. Ein Tinguely in Zürich ist am richtigen Platz.

    (Translated by Google) Large, complex metal construction. Which still seems to be set in motion. But I did not find her in motion. (Original) Большая, сложная металлическая конструкция. Которая еще судя по всему приходит в движение. Но в движение я ее не застал.

    (Translated by Google) An extremely interesting structure / statue. Unfortunately, we got here in the rain, but we managed to make some pictures of it, and we couldn't see what it was. But it is in an eye-catching and beautiful place so I recommend it for viewing. (Original) Egy rendkívül érdekes szerkezet / szobor. Sajnos pont esőben értünk ide, de pár képet így is sikerült készíteni róla, alaposabban nem sikerült megnézni, hogy mi is ez pontosan. De figyelemfelkeltő és szép helyen van így ajánlom megtekintésre.
