Le Cyclop - Milly-la-Forêt, France - Artists: Jean Tinguely & Niki de Saint Phalle and friends.
In the sleepy village of Milly-la-Forêt, France, lies a monstrous, whimsical monument called Le Cyclop. Measuring 22 metres high, the unusual sculpture took 30 years to complete by Swiss artist Jean Tinguely. With the help of his wife Niki de Saint Phalle and various friends Arman, César, Marcel Duchamp, and JR Soto, the husband and wife team resurrected the piece out of a chaos of 300 tons of industrial debris - metal, concrete, ceramic mosaic, stones - mirrors and a waterfall. Visitors are invited to explore the complexity of the piece via a network of staircases and catwalks. Owned by the French state since 1991 upon Tinguely's death, Le Cyclop has been described as both "enchanting and nightmarish" to upkeep. Apart from vandals and the hostility of the weather, the wheels alone cost a lot to maintain, and it has given the state much difficulty, especially for a sculpture whose purpose, said Tinguely, was to one day disappear.
The huge body-less Head, glittering with mirrors, with a single eye, a mouth from which water trickles onto a toboggan tongue, and an ear weighing a ton, houses in its midst a surprising world where spectators are invited to follow a maze-like itinerary to discover varied and complementary works, acoustic sculptures, a small automatic theatre and, where the brain would be, some tremendous machinery with scrap-iron gears, as intriguing as they are eclectic. This extremely rich opus encompasses four art movements: Dada, Nouveau Réalisme (new realism), Kinetic Art and Art brut. With Le Cyclop, Jean Tinguely wanted to create a non-standard construction, exceptional in size, artistic complexity and technical ingeniousness, as well as being unusually sited in the Forest of Milly. But “The Head” is, above all else, the outcome of a collective venture, forged from bonds of friendship, a utopia produced over many years by a “team of crazy sculptors” gathered about the personality of Jean Tinguely.
In 1969, the Cyclop project got under way in the Forest of Milly. Jean Tinguely knew that to complete his Head project, the only way was to finance the works himself; that way, he could be free to work as he wished. No architect would be involved in the construction and the artists alone gradually built this sculpture, with Herculean courage, strength and tenaciousness. It took ten years of labour to erect Le Cyclop, and fifteen more years before everyone’s contributions were installed. Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle funded the project together. In 1987, to guarantee its protection and preservation, they decided to donate Le Cyclop to the French state. In 1991, when Jean Tinguely died, Niki de Saint Phalle took it upon herself to complete the sculpture by paying for the final works, fully respecting her partner’s ideas. In May 1994, Le Cyclop was inaugurated by François Mitterrand, President of the Republic, and opened to the public. Niki de Saint Phalle then decided that Le Cyclop was finished and that no work could be added to it from then on.

Great St Mary, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire
On top of a plain tomb chest lie the sadly battered figures of a man and wife. He is dressed in armour of Elizabethan type, over which he wears a sleeveless tabard from which all trace of the colouring has disappeared. His bare head, bearded and moustachioed, rests on a cushion; behind it is set his mantled helm from which the crest (a falcon's leg) has been broken off. Her dress also is of the early Elizabethan period, the outer gown open from neck to hem and tied at the natural waist with a sash. On her head she wears the close fitting Paris head; behing it rests her husband's shield, whose original colours can be appreciated by reference to the hatchment on the south wall opposite. In the wall above the tomb is the epitaph:
Heare lyeth John Jocelyn Esq and Phllip his wife which died A Dom 1525.
Evidently Philippa did not die for many years after her husband, for the monument is plainly of the early years of the reign of Elizabeth I. She was the daughter of William Bradbury.
I couldn't help but notice this new billboard on the edge of town. What the hell? I have lived here all my life and I don't know this adventure they speak of. I think I need to call city hall and tell them I don't appreciate them keeping secrets from me.

Taken at Lier Mental Hospital a abandoned mental institution.
Big thanks to SatriaVision for showing us the place, take your time to visit his photos!
The old Lier Mental Hospital was abandoned in 1986 and still is.
We arrived at 04:00 in the morning, and hoped that we would avoid meeting the local kids who sometimes uses this place to drink, look for ghosts and scare each other. We had some peaceful but also scary hours inside the abandoned building, all alone, or at least we liked to believe that we were alone.
The rumor says that the staff at Lier Mental Hospital tested new medicines, lobotomy, electroshocks and drugs like LSD on the patients. During the years 1941 to 1981 it is estimated that more than 3000 people were lobotomized in Norway, many of theme right here in this building.
Thanks to Ansgar Valbø for joining me on this trip and sharing tips and advice during the shoot and processing.
