Nils-Benedikt Fischer
| Artworks | CV |
Nils Benedikt Fischer is a visual artist who combines sculpture, engineering and filmmaking. His work explores how individual experiences and memories converge to form a ‚personal history’ and lay the foundation for a process of worlding. By using self-developed projection machines which embody an essence of the medium they project, Fischer shifts the idea of the machine as a reproducible and potent tool to an individual vessel that represents states of fragility, doubt and the search for identity. Often incorporating organic materials such as plants, hair or fingernails and combining them with industrial components and sculptural materials, his works evade categorization and create an autonomous sphere that host the nucleus of a story.
Nils Benedikt Fischer was raised in Dessau and lives in Berlin.
