Synopsis
An empty warehouse becomes the stage for artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss as they construct a complex Rube Goldberg machine from found objects. This 30-minute film, released in 1987, captures the machine's chain reaction, which involves elements like fire, water, and gravity. As the contraption operates, it illustrates the principles of cause and effect while merging art and science. The work invites contemplation of motion and interaction among everyday items.
