Traditionally, hyperrealistic mannequins have embodied the dream (or rather the nightmare) of animating the inanimate: by imitating the living model to such an extent that any distinction becomes (almost) impossible, they blur the threshold between life and inert matter. It thus comes as no surprise that wax figures have often been taken as a symbol of cinematic creation and its attempt to recreate motion (a quality immediately associated with life) by means of a sequence of static frames. By focusing on three classic movies—Robert Wiene’s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), Paul Leni’s Waxworks (1923) and Michael Curtiz’s Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)—the essay explores the tension between reality and unreality as the crux of cinema tout court.

At first sight, a statue that appears in a film is a prop among others. It can serve to situate the action, it can be an attribute of a character, indicating the person’s taste and social status, and it can become a world-making detail, as in historical epics set in antiquity, where statues serve as the kind of ornament used to describe the world of the film and lend it credibility. But as it appears in a film, it raises questions about film as an art of the gesture, and about the power of film to endow inanimate objects with agency.
