A strategy of reappropriating and aestheticising the commonplace is central to Peter Fischli and David Weiss’s practice. Their playful trompe-l’œil configurations make the viewer look afresh at the ordinary. They also raise questions about perception while retaining a light, comic touch. Untitled (Tate) is a reconfiguration of a work first commissioned for the opening displays of Tate Modern in 2000. It is a large-scale installation that resembles the interior of a workshop full of everyday materials, pallets, furniture and small items such as cigarette packets and brushes. Each of the objects in the installation is handmade, carved from polyurethane foam and painted in an illusionistic style. The artists visited Tate Modern a few months before it opened, and the installation was designed in part to recreate a sense of that working environment.
