HENKE, Lena
P7340LH Owner’s Manual Model ’82/2023

In Lena Henke's 2023 exhibition Good Year at the Marta Herford, cars and kitchens collided, displaying middle-class ideals, marketing promises and concepts of home. In the large-scale installation P7340LH, Henke adapts a kitchen launched by Poggenpohl in cooperation with Porsche Design and presses tires into the grid order of a kitchen unit. As a “manual,” the book catalog the visual worlds of these extremes between lifestyle aesthetics and questions of imprinting, identity and role models. The productive work with research material and its implementation in comics or collages is part of Henke's multifaceted practice, which extends from sculpture into further dimensions and is strongly influenced by spatial and environmentally oriented thinking.
