In 2016 Christian Jankowski became the first artist to curate the 11th edition of the Manifesta Biennale in Zürich. Under the title What People do for Money, Jankowski invited artists to collaborate with local people to elaborate new artworks together. These collaborations were then filmed with young Zürich Pupils who became Journalists, interviewing the locals and their collaborating artists about their concept and partnership.
