FRANKFURT AM MAIN.- Central to the exhibition is the presentation of the documentary film “Metropolis. Report from China” by Maya Schweizer and Clemens von Wedemeyer. The artists traveled to China in 2004 to do research for the project of remaking Fritz Lang’s legendary film classic “Metropolis” (1927). The two imposing mega-cities of Shanghai and Beijing seemed appropriate settings for this undertaking to the artists, given how these city landscapes reflect the emerging gap between the living conditions of the workers and those of the new rich. As the result of their research, the documentary film “Metropolis. Report from China” (2006) presents the configurations of these cities in relation to “Metropolis” through discussions and interviews with the workers and architects
