Technisches Museum Wien‘s exhibition project titled “Work & Production.thinking forward” displays an ample photographic installation of the artist. His work employs the archiving of public spaces, buildings and production environments — how do they transfer social realities and changes, how do they structure our perception? Király does not document places, he deconstructs and reconstructs them out of single images, in order to make references and development perceptable to the visitor’s eye. He offers a different perspective to that of an architectural photographer who merely searches for documentary images, Iosif Király’s images instead connecting buildings and places with the people that use them. He likewise sets a reference system from single points of view using specific artistic means.

The aim of “Work & Production.thinking forward” is to show the constant change of working environments and production spaces since the first industrial revolution, to make it understandable. Today, the focus is on progressive networking and automation of production, which will change the future of the working world. What’s in play is the 4th industrial revolution, as new professions have arisen and others transform due to new challenges. How does the professional environment reflect these developments and are there different working environments that coexist? The exhibition integrates, with the help of an artistic interpretation, the change of the working life with its different speed, aspects and references in order to show that change has always been an integrated part in the working world. The photo installation frames a permanent exhibition area of about 40m and offers an emotional entrance to visitors.
