Peter Fischli 
Peter Fischli, born in Zurich 1952, is part of the artist duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss, often shortened to Fischli/Weiss. They have been collaborating since 1979 and are considered one of the world's top contemporary artists. Their work has been executed in a variety of media, including sculpture, film, and photography. The duo is perhaps best known for the 1987 film "The Way Things Go" (Der Lauf der Dinge) which was described by The Guardian as being "Post Apocalyptic". Fischli and Weiss won the Golden Lion prize at the 2003 Venice Biennale. A retrospective of their work was held at the Tate Modern, London, in 2006, and travelled to the Kunsthaus Zurich and the Deichtorhallen Hamburg. David Weiss passed away in 2012 at age of 65. Peter Fischli works and lives in Zurich.
