Stravinsky Fountain, Public fountain at Place Stravinsky, Paris, France
The Stravinsky Fountain features sixteen colorful and mechanical sculptures in a large basin next to the Centre Pompidou and Saint-Merri Church.
Created in 1983 by Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle, the fountain emerged from Paris' initiative to construct seven contemporary water features across the city.
Each sculpture within the fountain represents different elements from Igor Stravinsky's musical compositions, including The Firebird, The Fox, and The Nightingale.
The fountain's shallow design incorporates lightweight materials and stainless steel lining to protect the IRCAM research institute facilities located beneath the structure.
The installation combines black mechanical sculptures by Tinguely with bright artistic elements by Saint Phalle, creating a distinctive contrast in the urban landscape.
