People Planet Profit marks Peter Fischli’s first monographic exhibition in France. One of the most significant artists of his generation, Fischli is known for his four-decades-long collaboration with the late David Weiss as the groundbreaking conceptual duo Fischli /Weiss. Today, Fischli’s solo practice continues his longstanding critical engagement with the aesthetics of the everyday and systems of meaning, through works that playfully upend the distinctions between art and life.
Encompassing sculpture, installation, video, and sound, spanning 2018 and the present, People Planet Profit explores how the signifiers, symbols, and infrastructures of capitalism vie for our attention, circulating, shaping and choreographing our movements, perceptions, and emotions. Far from simply showing images, the exhibition returns and refracts the world back to us in new, ever so slightly skewed and unexpected forms, revealing the architecture of a world in constant, dizzying flux.
