Two publications exist from its time, but unfortunately, they do not visualize the interior in as much detail either:<BR/>hon. en katedral byggd av: Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, Per Olof Ultvedt, 1966<BR/>Hon - en historia, 1967<BR/><BR/>It is described in the Swiss newspaper TAT from July 1966:<BR/>a milk-bar with sandwich vending machine in one breast, a cinema with Greta Garbo movies in the other, a lover's corner in one leg, a mechanical uterus by JT (they describe it as a 'Heureka' machine), a slide (looks more like a ramp that children cheeringly used) , a terrace on top of the belly and an art salon in the toes.<BR/>There exists film footage of the construction, the exhibition and destruction. Your best bet is to request info from the Moderna Museet in Stockholm.<BR/><BR/>Happy researching! <BR/>JanaNCAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958979838529070665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991343547887142385.post-26231421911113386582009-02-02T14:09:00.000-05:002009-02-02T14:09:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.NCAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958979838529070665noreply@blogger.com
