"The role of the copy shop and the modalities of production in the post-digital era."

IDLE is a collection of photographs taken of copy shops in various locations from 2014-2017.
The images are presented as a fragmented collage due to the practical result of oblique collating.
Printed in White riso ink on black sugar paper in Edition of 100 copies.

Copy shops are the intermediary organ that assists the production and exchange of printed ephemera.
Impartial to the subjects they reproduce, they are an integral part of society with a distinct visual economy of their own.
This publication is an enquiry into these particular (work-) environments, as social support structures.

With outset in the book work IDLE, we will discuss the modalities of production and the role of the copy shop, in the post-digital era.

Wilfred Wagner (DK, 1988) is a visual artist and together with Kristian B. Johansson forming KLD Repro; a publication studio and artist run copy shop in Copenhagen since 2014.
