Part of events on ArtRabbit in: London
The Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss began collaborating in 1979, creating films, photographs, sculptures, and installations that draw on the aesthetics of slapstick by comedically arranging everyday materials into absurd scenarios. For their first collaborative project, the Sausage Photographs, the pair constructed and photographed playful tableaux—including a car crash and a fashion show—featuring various kinds of sausage as the central figures. Similarly, for the 1984—85 series Equilibrium, the artists photographed furniture, bottles, clothing, and other miscellaneous objects in precarious arrangements in their studio, resulting in illogical, gravity-defying compositions.
