Vladimir Tatlin Monument for the Third International (1919)

Vladimir Tatlin Monument for the Third International (1919)

Vladimir Tatlin Monument for the Third International (1919) Was to be Headquarters of the Comintern (Communist International) –Overthrow international bourgeoisie (capitalist countries). After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917

Vladimir Tatlin Monument for the Third International (1919) Industrial materials: iron, glass and steel. In materials, shape, and function, it was envisioned as a towering symbol of modernity. It would have dwarfed the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The tower's main form was a twin helix which spiraled up to 400 m in height. Visitors would be transported around with the aid of various mechanical devices.

Vladimir Tatlin Monument for the Third International (1919) The Base: a cube venue for lectures, conferences and legislative meetings, and this would complete a rotation in the span of one year. The Middle: a pyramid housing executive activities and completing a rotation once a month. The Top: a cylinder to house an information centre, issuing news bulletins and manifestos via telegraph, radio and loudspeaker, and would complete a rotation once a day.

Metropolis (1926) by Fritz Lang It is an Expressionist film—dramatically exaggerated and distorted to evoke an emotional and psychological effect.
