Metropolis' Robot Re-Creation

May 7, 2014 Jane Fordyce

In conjunction with our Toronto distributor, Sculpture Supply Canada, we are excited to announce our involvement in Kropserkel Inc.'s new project, the re-creation of the "Maschinenmensch" robot of Fritz Lang's historic film Metropolis.

Aqua-Resin has been chosen as the composite material for the fabrication of the casing of this historic robot . Furthering Kropserkel's dedication to authenticity, we have been working closely with their director, Scott Maple, to simulate the unique bronze/silver metal finish of the original robot.

Originally designed and constructed by Walter Schulze-Mittendorff in 1926 to be worn by actress Brigitte Helm, the original "Maschinenmensch" aka "False Maria" body was inspired at the height of the German expressionist movement and influenced the aesthetic of modern movie robots (such as C3PO of Star Wars.)

You can find further details on the project HERE.
