From his first series of portraits entitled Moine et Moniales and Los Angeles Portraits, to more recent cycles like Façades and Cathedrals, Fischer's audience has constantly increased during the past few years.
Since the 80's, he has focused his attention on the question of portrait. In the serie Moines et Moniales, he penetrates the psychology of characters so that he indicates universal symbolic values that transcend every concrete individuality. In Los Angeles Portraits, a lack of emotion is due to the fact that these women are submerged in water to the shoulders. Their faces gain a symbolic dimension. Surrounded by water, they are floating in an unspecified world. This way to treat the portrait has an influence on our perception and also on his works about architectural photographs. In these series, architecture is tackled like a text to be analysed or like a face to be portrayed. This approach allowes the artist to underline a critical distance and to have an objective point of view, in a raw manner, on architecture, by integrating at the same time the perspicacity of interpretation that is required to the making of a portrait. In his serie of cathedrals, superimpositions and photographic comparisons highlight the proper caracteristics of gothic style. The spirituality of Gothic is introduced by a variety of ornemental combinations and by various constructive elements. In his cycle entitled Façades, architecture has been transformed into a fragment. From the buildings of financial chinese district in 1998, Fischer has carried on with exploring the aspects of this type of architecture, accross the USA, Europe and, very recently, in South-East of Asia and Japan. The photographic picture is getting transformed into a radically abstract surface. But the fragment is here expressive and condensed, to allow the making of a portrait with a psychologic characteristic. And also to allow the revelation of a sense contained in the façade and in the building itself, in the context of the multinational's civilization. To conclude, seriality, specificity and impersonality drive Fischer to explore links between individuality and collectivity.
