Besides the moral questions about advertising's practice supporting market system and the idea of continuous consumption, how can advertising, always celebrating its own superb creativeness, appropriate other peoples ideas just like that, as like there would be no issue about it, as like they would have the right to do that, as like they would be the ones creating the ideas?

This was made in 1987 and inspired Honda advert, with out this the Honda advert wouldn't exist. Love Fishli and Weiss, remember an exhibition at the Tate in 2006 or 2007, hundreds of little sculptures, my favorit, 'Mick Jagger and Brian Jones walking home satisfied after writing I can't get no satisfaction'. Genius!

the edits are actually because this was filmed using film. I'm pretty sure, I was taught, and have never heard otherwise, that this was one continuous run.

watch the whole thing, it's 30 minutes long. you can find all 3 parts on youtube titled The Way Things Go (1/3) (2/3) and (3/3). Trust me, it is well worth your time to watch the whole thing.

To the person below who reckon the advert is 'so much better'...Err, Fischli and Weiss did it first and were ripped off!

Fischli and Weiss remove these things that surround us from their contexts in our daily lives, and then restructure their relationships to one another. The artists aim neither to glorify nor to alienate these common objects, but merely to create new references in which they might be considered.
THE WAY THINGS GO - without narration or interviews - simply records the self-destructing performance of Fischli's and Weiss' most ambitious construction: 100 feet of physical interactions, chemical reactions, and precisely crafted chaos worthy of Rube Goldberg or Alfred Hitchcock.
