Henning Lederer explores the six cycles within the human factory: Five different topics separately or a conglomeration of them all together, based on Fritz Khan poster Der Mensch als Industriepalast [Man as Industrial Palace] from 1926. Dr. Fritz Kahn (1888-1968) was a gynecologist in Berlin and a world-famous popular science writer who illustrated the form and function of the human body with spectacular, modern man-machine analogies. In the 1920s, his magnum opus, “Das Leben des Menschen” (The Life of Man) – a five-volume series – was renowned as a German accomplishment of global repute. In the 1930s, his books were banned and burned by the Nazis, then edited by Kahn’s publisher and reissued as plagiarisms with a superimposed anti-Semitic chapter.
Below is a picture of the original poster.
