Jean Tinguely is well-known for his machines, which rotate, chime and rattle in absurd motions; but Eva Aeppli is connected with immobile, dignified, even sad figures which appear dumbly to look straight through you. Often, they are eyeless, full of pain and sorrow. »I want them to fly« says Eva Aeppli and her friend Jean Tinguely has made sure it happens. Although they weren’t made light and weightless – that could not be expected of Tinguely’s work – but they dangle and shake and come alive. And so a number of collaborations came about, of which one was given to Daniel Spoerri.
