About

Fischli and Weiss: The Way Things Go presents the acclaimed 1987 video by Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss. Known for their witty explorations of human nature, the duo worked across film, sculpture, and installation. In The Way Things Go, everyday objects set off a mesmerizing chain reaction, echoing a Rube Goldberg machine. This playful spectacle transforms destruction into art, embracing absurdity and unpredictability as essential parts of life. This film is distributed by Icarus Films.
