Fischli and Weiss

without comments

During my recent visit in London, a friend took us to a terrific new media exhibition at Tate Modern: Fischli & Weiss, Flowers and Reflections. I must admit whilst entering the first room, I got a tad sceptical as I didn’t see anything but black coal shaped in various shapes (how original). However, the photographs and the
figures were great. I can’t remember laughing as much in an exhibition before. At the same time Fischli and Weiss makes you think about ordinary situations, e.g. what image appears in your mind when you hear the word landscape or journey? I never really thought about it, but Fischli and Weiss started interesting reflections.

The questions they pose were particularly interesting: examples Bizarre ideas pops into our minds at the weirdest times, and Fischli and Weiss did a good job at gathering some of the most ‘common’ questions which take place in our everyday life. Amusing and entertaining and thoughtprovoking at the same time!
