Tinguely is perhaps most famous for the ambitious and influential 'Homage to New York', an auto-destructive work that failed spectacularly to destroy itself in 1960. In 2001 Michael Landy successfully destroyed all of his worldly possessions for Break Down, a project he presented in an abandoned department store in London's Oxford Street. For this film, we took Michael, accompanied by Tate Liverpool's Laurence Sillars, to a waste recycling depot in Camden. Here they talked about the exhibition, the artists' shared interest in scrap materials, and Landy's ambition to one day recreate 'Homage to New York'.\n
