The way things go by Peter Fischli and David Weiss 1978
TIME
The whole piece
is very structured, each action strategically setup which must have been very
time consuming. Everything is very
precise; one action relies heavily on the other to continue.
Each object
and material had varied time for how long it would take to process, I felt
there were some repetitive motions
for example waiting for certain objects to drop, or for water to fill up, some took longer which slowed down the piece.

For the
majority of the film we see a clear realistic representation of how the objects
and materials for naturally respond to each other, the speed of the wheels, the
time it takes for water to transfer into another container.
The artist
has taken everyday objects that appear to be garbage and reclaimed them. The
piece manipulates time in some ways throughout, setting up static materials
then creating a kinetic motion for the viewer to see and follow the process.
Place:
The piece seemed to be filmed in a large warehouse; however we never see the full space. We watch a very linear performance from similar angles throughout, which reflected the sequence, being very straight and continual. It could be suggested that the place is the objects setup; the way they are connected makes a place within itself.
