Deborah Fischer
Plastician
The blue walls of Jodhpur have become emblematic of the city's identity. My research project, if not a quest, entitled The Whisperers, looks at their characteristics and meanings in the urban landscape. From embroidery to weaving, from metal to stone, from touch to smell, The Whisperers will explore the themes of repair and time, with a sociological and poetic approach.
Born in 1992, Deborah Fischer is a visual artist who graduated from ENSAAMA in textile design (2014) and École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2019). She is developing a work in sculpture, installation and performance in the public space. For several years now, she has been collecting "almost nothing" items that have outlived their usefulness but retain a plastic and emotional charge. Like an urban alchemist, she forces objects together through a combination of materials, a long process of assembly and composition. By building up her own archaeology of the present, as close as possible to the contemporary issues of our society, she also tries to detect the spirit of a place and to create from what it tells us. In 2023, she will be exhibiting at the 19M and the Fondation Bullukian, and will be a resident of the Weiss Endowment Fund. She will be an artist-researcher at the Collège des Bernardins, in partnership with AgroParisTech, from 2021 to 2022, and she has been nominated for the Prix Dauphine pour l'Art Contemporain 2021
