Mark Ho’s metal ZOHO

Mark Ho is from Amsterdam, Netherlands. He got his early training in film making as a director and script writer. During his second year at the academy he worked on an animation project that required the building of a puppet that was capable of many movements. He designed and built the puppet in metal and learned much about working with the materials. The project also got him started thinking about making the “ultimate puppet” that could duplicate the grace and range of human movement.

Every part is shaped out of solid pieces of bronze and stainless steel. Many parts are made with tools that Mark had to make himself. The entire project took him 6 years and every part is documented he expects it will take about five months to build a second one.

ZOHO ARTFORM No. 1 can take any number of natural human poses due to the large number of moveable joints paralleling human form built into its structure.
