“Schicht – a fascinating dialog between art and industry.”
Abendzeitung Nürnberg

“Schicht” is an examination of the human body interacting with the industrial production process. Dance, vocals, and sound design express the emotional and physical interaction of man and machine. Over 5 weeks Fabian Chyle observed and compared the movement patterns of machines and workers in the work place. He conducted interviews and movement workshops with the workers, investigating the differences and similarities between industrial architectural and the human body’s anatomical structure. From this researchprocess “Schicht” was created.
