Roland Fischer, a conceptual photo artist born in 1958, operates on an international scale and works in series. Since the 1980s, he has been a prominent figure in the photographic avant-garde, thanks to his large-format works. Fischer's artistic focus revolves around two intricate themes: people and architecture. These two themes are extensively explored in his comprehensive catalogue, which showcases a series of conceptual works on both subjects. In his photographs, Fischer emphasizes the precise exposure of faces, particularly in series such as "Nuns and Monks," "Los Angeles Portraits," and "Chinese Pool Portraits." While he also delves into other topics in his work series, such as "Cathedrals," "Alhambra," and "New Architectures," it is the pictorial nature of his concentrated photo works on famous buildings and façades that truly captivates Fischer's interest. These images are autonomous creations, standing apart from the documentary character of photography. Through his lens, Fischer invites viewers to explore the visual beauty and artistic potential of these architectural landmarks and façades.
