An artist, an inventor and a visionary, Panamarenko has conducted an exceptional long-term research on concepts such as space, movement, flying, energy and gravity. His work is a combination of an artistic insight and a technological experimentation.
As an introduction to his practice M HKA has mapped out almost his entire oeuvre in a chronologically and thematicly structured digital platform. M HKA would like to share the gathered information further with the public. Welcome to the digital archive!

Installation , 200 x 250 x 100 cm
installation with three tables with sunshade, three walking chickens

Panamarenko built this poetic installation consisting of three tables with a sunshade as the stage on which to demonstrate three walking chickens. The three brightly coloured birds were fitted with a small electric motor driven by a battery. The
mechanism used to make the chickens walk refers back to Crooked Leg from 1994.
