Language in all its forms, from poetry to cliché, was a continual source of intrigue for Fischli/Weiss. How to Work Better (1991) is a manifesto comprising 10 persuasive but empty sentences, each with the aim of improving workplace productivity and morale: “Know the problem”; “Accept change as inevitable.” Fischli/Weiss plucked these stock phrases from a factory in Thailand and painted them in large stencilled letters to cover the exterior of an office block in Oerlikon, Zurich, visible on the approach into the city centre by train from Zurich Airport.
