Thank you. I was trying to remember the name of this video.

Nice use of chemicals and pyrotechnics - worth the 30 minute watch!

I've had this on VHS for years, it's so nice to see on the web at last.

oh...and I always thought the translation was 'The way things go"

Dang this was LONG, but radical!

Davideo: It is "The Way Things Go" according to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094300/ ...

drattus has fixed this video's dead embed code - no star awarded because drattus was awarded too recently.

I think that's the right fix, wasn't easy to find and could be edited into a playlist but with all three parts should add up to about the right time span and has the pyrotechnics, described as "Der Lauf Der Dinge". If it's not the right one it needs a post of its own

First time I saw this it was projected in a gallery of a modern museum. When I passed it, I just had to sit down and watch it all. When I came home, I immediately looked for a copy.
