David Weiss
David Weiss was a Swiss painter, one of the members of the artistic duo Fischli & Weiss.
The artists' photographs, sculptures, installations and films explore unusual transformations of ordinary objects and situations through a comic radicality and love of play. At the core of all their work is a childlike spirit of discovery that invites the viewer to look at their surroundings in a new way. In the world of Fischli & Weiss, everyday objects take on unexpected properties — they balance on top of each other, play and collide.
