synopsis: Canyon Cinema catalog 1992
A record, of sorts, of the birth and death of Tinguely's famous auto-destructive sculpture. Filmed on the spot at the New York Modern Art Museum, this film also exploits a wide range of camera and editing techniques to give it a life of its own, independent of and parallel to the subject.

synopsis: Light Cone 1996
D'une certaine manière, un enregistrement de la naissance et de la mort d'une sculpture autodestructrice de Jean Tinguely. Filmé au Musée d'art moderne de New York, ce film explore aussi un grand nombre de techniques de caméra et montage afin de lui donner une vie, indépendante mais parallèle au sujet.
