Peter Fischli discovered a plethora of bizarre business advice books while in London, which sparked an idea to photograph them. He was drawn to their strange titles and poor designs, leading to the creation of the exhibition People Planet Profit. This exhibition investigates the relationship between climate issues and capitalism, questioning the possibility of harmonizing social well-being, environmental sustainability, and profit. It includes various mediums, addressing shifting labor concepts and data flow in modern economies, while also creating dialogues about authenticity and the effects of mass tourism.
Fischli began taking pictures of cheap, poorly designed books that had strange names, reflecting on their nonsensical nature and his fascination with them.
The exhibition People Planet Profit explores themes of climate and capitalism, questioning if social wellbeing, environmental sustainability, and financial gain can coexist.
Set in a former industrial building, the show examines the shift from material production to the immaterial flow of data in the fourth industrial revolution.
A sculptural installation evokes the tensions between nature and human-made structures, while another work invites reflections on authenticity and the impact of tourism.
