A total environment-cum-woodland utopia created by an all-star team of mad sculptors led by Jean Tinguely

Created by sculptor Jean Tinguely (1925-91) in collaboration with Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) and their artist friends Bernhard Luginbühl, Larry Rivers, Jesús Rafael Soto and Daniel Spoerri, among others, Le Cyclop is a monumental sculptural work that dominates the forest of Milly-la-Forêt outside Paris. Elaborated upon for three decades, the collective project generated a total environment. Its exterior presents an immense head bedecked in sparkling mirrors, built almost entirely from found and industrial materials. Its interior houses a surprising universe punctuated with sound sculptures, a small automatic theater, machinery with scrap metal gears as well as homages to Duchamp, Klein and Schwitters.
