“Man as Industrial Palace” is an interactive installation based on a poster by Fritz Kahn from 1926, exploring the six cycles within the human factory. From the moment on that Henning Lederer got to know Kahn’s poster “Man as Industrial Palace” in 2006, he had the idea to animate this complex and strange way of explaining the functions of a body. He wanted to continue Fritz Kahn’s act of replacing a biological with a technological structure by transferring this depiction with the help of motion graphics and animation.

In addition to the moving images, as a framework, Henning created a cabinet for his work including a mixture of old and new technology. This new version of the “Industrial Palace“ is an installation for the audience to interact with – and by this to explore the different cycles of this human machinery.
