Peter Fischli and David Weiss (better known as Fischli/Weiss) are an artistic duo who are often considered one of the world's top
contemporary artists. Working together since 1979, the duo created a lot of interesting pieces using photography and film such as Wurst serie (1979), a series of ten photos that signified the beginning of the duo's work together, and the film Der Lauf der Dinge (also known asThe Way Things Go, 1989). The Way Things Gois one of their most interesting pieces because it is truly complex in the way that it shows the chain reactions of certain objects as they fly across the studio that it was shot in.Der Geringste Widerstand (The Point of Least Resistance) is another one of their interesting works. Although the film seems silly, it is full of all sorts of meaning. If audiences took the time to watch this interesting film, they'd see that Fischli/Weiss were attempting to warn people about the dangers of taking the path of least resistance, which is often considered the enemy of creativity. There are many other works that Peter Fischli and David Weiss have created together that have plenty of insight embedded in them, which is what makes their work so entertaining. (
