Before we start describing the city we want to dedicate some words to the owner and builder of this city, Metropolis II. It is possible you’ve never heard about him but he is the symbol of passion and persistence!
Yeah, it took him 4 long years to build the city only on his own! Can you imagine that, 4 years of hard work, but everything is possible when the passion and willingness to make something happen are combined in beautiful symphony, the outcome is Metropolis II.
The father of Metropolis II is Chris Burden, and this kinetic sculpturing is now installed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art! It is a scaled city, a city built from small sculptures and the cars are moving constantly on rails. It is really stunning to see something so huge built from so small fragments and it is alive, something is happening there all the time. The most amazing fact is that everything is somehow synchronized, there are no crashes between the cars and the train!
Play the video bellow and see how the kinetic energy moves the cars so smoothly. Believe us, it is a pure art that will confuse you!
