The way things Go - Fischli and Weiss

Not a lot to do with Interrupting the Screen, but I just couldn't resist posting this for the sake of those of you who may never have seen it before.


NOTES FROM YouTube;
TO BUY THE DVD of the complete 30 minutes of this chain reaction called The Way Things Go go here: http://firstrunfeatures.com/shopsite_...

IN THIS SCENE: Fire is the instigator in this section of their chain reaction.

ABOUT THIS FILM: In 1987 Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss built a enormous, precarious structure 100 feet long out of common items. Using fire, water, gravity, and chemistry they create a mind-blowing chain reaction of physical and chemical interactions and precisely crafted chaos.

"A Rube Goldberg drawing come to life. How did they do it?"
