High above Tinguely's giant machines, a woman's shadow dangles her legs from a crossbeam. Further on, a shadow cat waits at a bannister, a dog sleeps in a basket among the sculptures, and in the stairwell you hear water dripping and go looking for the taps.

Zilla Leutenegger has moved into the museum like a quiet tenant. Her video drawings, wall sketches with a projected figure moving across them, sit in the gaps between Tinguely's machines and the building, so you have to hunt for them. Her alter ego ZillaGorilla sighs inside one of the crates used to ship Tinguely's sculptures. The stairwell taps are ceramic, so nobody needs to ring the Hauswart about the drip.

Keystone-SDA called the interventions mostly subtle and gentle: this rewards a slow lap of a collection you may think you know. It's covered by the CHF 18 museum ticket (CHF 12 students), Thursdays run until 9pm, and the artist joins a free curator's tour on 4 February at 7pm.

À ne pas manquer

  • Plein Soleil

    Look up: Zilla's shadow swings her legs from a crossbeam high above Tinguely's machines, where in earlier versions she sat on a diving board.

  • ZillaGorilla in the crate

    The artist's gorilla alter ego cowers and sighs inside one of the big crates the museum uses to transport Tinguely's sculptures.

  • Sit & Wait

    A shadow cat sits in front of a bannister, waiting, and nothing tells you what for.

  • The pilot in the propeller plane

    The museum's propeller plane gets a shadow pilot in a long scarf; the curator says nobody had ever asked to use the plane before.

  • The piano by Mengele's Dance of Death

    A motion sensor sets off an old piano, rescued from a piano graveyard, playing a piece without a melody on seven keys, with coloured light projections.

Idéal pour

  • Visites en soirée
  • Habitués qui ont tout vu
  • Jours de pluie

À éviter si

You want one show to walk through: the works are scattered among Tinguely's machines and need hunting.
