"Mitarbeiter und Freunde" (1988) is a large-scale photographic work by German conceptual artist Hanne Darboven (1941-2009). The artwork consists of numerous black and white photographs arranged in a grid-like format, creating a visual rhythm and pattern. Darboven's work often explored themes of time, memory, and social structures, frequently referencing the history of art and literature.

The use of repetitive photographic grids is a characteristic of Darboven's approach to conceptual art.
