Streszczenie The author of this interpretation focuses on the post-factory from the anthropological point of view. How can we transform the post-factory into a place? The post-factory is a place of unique reconciliation. It is where a ritual has taken place, one involving not only the material aspect of existence (architectural, renovating, animating, anesthetizing, popularizing and other activities), but also the social (the behaviour and active engagement of people who have visited the place, wandered around or been on a pilgrimage) and the spiritual (the place, already uprooted and often vandalised, has been restored to its proper order and function, which has helped to reinstate the relationship between a human being, nature, industry and the place). To transform the post-factory into a place is to open it again to the infinite and to make it part of the community.
