fabric and wood media screen sculpture for Fritz Lang's Metropolis
the metropolis screen project is an abstract, physical representation of a scene from Fritz Langs Metropolis. decomposition through sequential analysis of diagrams and the psychological effects of the scene provided for the three dimensional form. this work incorporates cinema and virtual space in the design process. In our preoccupation with space, weather we see it as the creation of a new experience or as the representation of the current relationship of the subject to its environment, architects look outside the discipline in order to inform the architectural discourse.
expanding the viewers relationship to narrative/viewing space/and screen, the metropolis screen investigates the social collective that is present while viewing and experiencing film. viewers can walk around the screen and experience the film in different locations as well as see stills from the production of the film embedded into the fabric. the structure directly relates to a specific scene in Metropolis in which the master moves across the room and responds to the lights of the city, realizing that the workers were present.
