View in a Room

// Untitled, Zurich Airport 2000 by Peter Fischli and David Weiss is a limited edition offset print from 2007, capturing a cinematic view of Zurich Airport at dusk. The photograph features an airplane adorned with the iconic Swiss tail logo, set against a dramatic sky tinged with sunset hues. The scene is marked by a striking greenish light trail, possibly created by long-exposure photography, that stretches across the frame, adding a surreal quality to the otherwise industrial setting. This image explores themes of transience, technology, and the liminal spaces of travel, inviting viewers to reflect on the transient moments that define modern journeys. Fischli and Weiss's unique perspective brings a contemplative stillness to the busy environment of an international airport.

Peter Fischli (Switzerland, 1952) and David Weiss (Switzerland, 1946–2012) formed an influential artistic duo known for their playful and conceptual works. Through films, sculptures, and installations, they explored the mundane, humor, and philosophical questions, with iconic works like The Way Things Go.

Offset Print

Offset PrintOffset lithography is a printing technique where the inked image is first transferred (offset) from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. This method combines the lithographic process, which relies on the repulsion of water and oil, to keep non-printing areas ink-free by attracting a water-based film. Offset lithography was originally developed to reduce costs in reproducing artwork and is widely used for high-volume printing due to its efficiency and ability to produce sharp, consistent images.

- Peter Fischl & David Weiss

Peter Fischli (b. 1952 Switzerland) and David Weiss (b. 1946 Switzerland, d. 2012 Switzerland) were a Swiss artist duo known for their collaborative works that explore the absurdities of everyday life through a variety of media, including sculpture, photography, video, and installation. Fischli & Weiss’s work is characterized by a playful yet profound examination of the mundane, often employing humor and irony to reveal deeper truths about the human condition. One of their most famous works, The Way Things Go (1987), is a video that documents a chain reaction of everyday objects, highlighting the delicate balance between chaos and order. Their art frequently blurs the line between high and low culture, inviting viewers to find meaning in the seemingly trivial aspects of life. The duo's work has been widely exhibited and remains highly influential in the contemporary art world, celebrated for its wit, inventiveness, and philosophical depth. (Artist website)
