Peter Fischli is a Swiss Postwar & Contemporary artist who was born in 1952. For more than 5 decades, he was part of the artist duo Fischli/Weiss. Their best-known work is the film Der Lauf der Dinge (The Way Things Go, 1987), described by The Guardian as being "post apocalyptic", as it concerned chain reactions and the ways in which objects flew, crashed and exploded across the studio in which it was shot. Fischli lives and works in Zürich; Weiss died on 27 April 2012.

Dario Gamboni is a professor of art history at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. He has published many books, including The Destruction of Art: Iconoclasm and Vandalism since the French Revolution.
