Description

Working at Copan collects interviews with workers and employees at Edifcio Copan, a landmark modernist architecture in the center of So Paulo. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer and completed in 1966, it became the largest residential building in Latin America. As a historical building and symbol of vertical utopia, it embodies an era of radical political and economic changes within Brazilian society.

In his new book project, Berlin-based artist Peter Friedl deals with the work left over from the modern era. The questions and answers are concerned with the logic of the labour performed, the work process, the relationship of work and leisure, biographical details, memories, and plans for the future.
