The Origin of Being

[fat-seminar]

In both of my two examples the model becomes the set. The first one is the german science-fiction movie „metropolis“ from 1927 by fritz lang and the other one is the music video „Trans Europe Express“ from 1977 by Kraftwerk.

I‘ve chosen those examples because of the fact that the model is still a representation of a real city and the material is just cardboard. But the model becomes alive through its function in the movie and music video. It becomes fullscale by filming and cutting the scenes the right way.

So you can experience the model as a realistic city. The scale of the people and the model are switching in the movie and behind the scenes - i think that is what makes it for me interesting

And the fact of the time difference in-between make it more fascinating because Kraftwerk did use the same way to show a city in the same style - maybe because of the aesthetic? Or maybe Kraftwerks video is an imitation of metropolis?

And another point I discovered is that the humans are so meanless in those scenes, the architecture model is the only focus point like in modern architecture photography

and both of them have this kind of utopian futuristic atmosphere and idea of a city
