Swiss artists Peter Fischli / David Weiss have been collaborating since the late 1970s. Their photographs, sculptures, installations and moving images explore extraordinary transformations of the commonplace through the radicality of a comic and childlike spirit and love of play. The world of everyday objects is in a precarious balance, and an absurd chain of reactions between different objects colliding and setting off explosions constitutes their most well-known work – the filmThe Way Things Go (1987). In Sydney, the artists exhibit the series of photographs Equilibres (1984–87) – chance encounters of objects. In these images, gravity seems to work in reverse, creating states of suspension.
