I must admit I wasn’t previously aware of Robin Frohardt’s work, but her ingenious re-envisioning of Werner Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo in cardboard certainly has piqued my interest. From her website, it seems that previously she has operated as an artist and puppeteer, but on the basis of Fitzcardboardaldo I certainly hope she makes more films. Oh, and — of course! — there’s also a “making of” doc featuring a cardboard rendering of Herzog, Corrugation of Dreams, which you can view here.
