Berlin’s state-run Gipsformerei is one of only a few institutions around the world dedicated to formally reproducing works of sculpture at the highest level. For the first print issue of @thegrandtouristpodcast, photographer @michaelthecanadian and writer @camille_freestone give readers a rare behind-the-scenes look at this incredible treasure trove. “Some of these originals are 5,000, even 6,000 years old. You don’t need to imitate only the material, you need to imitate all of the dirt layers or oxidation when it comes to metal objects,” says the Gipsformerei’s Marcin Korbanek. “We do it by using different binders. This is also part of what we are trying to research now, to find out what kind of binders our ancestors used to work with, trying to understand why objects age differently. Unfortunately, not all of the knowledge survived.” Order the first print issue online now, and read this story online. Links in bio.
