'We do take steps to show things in their true light. Which is also what makes it interesting: we don't want to be rid of it altogether, but we don't want to leave it as it is either. That's true of many of our works: we want to take things out of the niche where they belong and transport them somewhere else, but without denying their origins. It is about taking but also about giving back.'
(P. Fischli, quoted in 'The Odd Couple', Frieze Magazine, Issue 102, October 2006, reproduced at: https://www.frieze.com/issue/article/the_odd_couple/)
