The Way Things Go

In German.. Der Lauf Der Dinger (the way of things)

Inside a warehouse, artists Peter Fischli and David Wiess build an enourmous, precarious structure 100 feet long made out of common household items - teac kettles, tires, old shoes balloons, wooden ramps etc. Then, with fire, water, gravity and chemistry, they create a spectacular chain reaction, a self-destructiong performance of physical interactions, chemical reaction, and precisely crafted chaos worthy of Rube Goldberg of Alfred Hitchcock.

From the DVD cover recording of the original work by First Run Features

This has also been credited as the inspiration for the Honda Advert, known as Cog.
