The work of Jan Kopp which uses various mediums (installations, videos, drawings, animation films), reflects his interest in the urban space and the proximity it creates, the communities it engenders, the utopias that have left their mark. Successively, a playground game with children of all origins or a roughly sketched clock face, the roundabout enables this unremarkable suburban housing estate to escape the dullness of reality.

 

Born in 1970 in FrankfurtamMain, Germany.
Lives and works in Paris, France and in Berlin, Germany.
