Using sculpture, film, photography and installation, Fischli and Weiss transform everyday objects, infusing them with new life and importance. The artists simultaneously amuse and unnerve their audiences, through exploring the relationships of seemingly opposing elements - work and play, order and chaos, the mundane and the sublime.
In their epic tour-de-force of slapstick and physics, Der Lauf der Dinge (The Way Things Go), the ordinary stuff of the artists' studio stars in an absurd parable, reacting in a carefully staged chain of events to gravity, chemicals and machines to demonstrate the utter rationality of cause and effect to no apparent purpose.
