peter fischli & david weiss
Peter Fischli and David Weiss, often shortened to Fischli/Weiss, were a Swiss artist duo that collaborated beginning in 1979. Their best-known work is the film Der Lauf der Dinge (1987), described by The Guardian as being "post apocalyptic", as it concerned chain reactions and the ways in which objects flew, crashed and exploded across the studio in which it was shot.

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.
