They might be playing, but more likely they are discovering. Not only are they the memory at childhood, they also stand in torthe larger beginnings at both past and tuture — ol stone circles and spaceships. Their small vulnerability, tar lrom being Disneyland cuteness, is the lragility ot civilisation. Somewhere there is the awe and shadow of Pompeii, tombs ot emperors and Hiroshima.
Peter Fischli and David Weiss explore equally gigantic subjects with a clear. dramatic touch. Theirtilm Der Laute der Dinge (shown throughout the day in Third Eye's Gallery 2) tollows a hectic journey peopled by soap suds,

Tune in to ‘Der Laute derDinge'—it is is a lunny, thrilling, gripping thirty minutes at tile on the edge. (Alice Bain)
