Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss explore their collaborative practice in conversation with curator Hans-Ulrich Obrist. Since the beginning of their partnership in the late 1970s, Fischli and Weiss have continually delighted in the commonplace and the absurd, expressing their subversive humour through sculptures, photographs, installations, films and videos.

The speakers take visitors on a walk through the exhibition and discuss the artists' manipulation and transformation of everyday materials, their recycling of ideas, themes and objects, and the almost childlike spirit of discovery central to their oeuvre.
