In most cases, nature is the theme, the inducement the artistic photography of Alexander Fischer is founded in. Uncomplicated technical structures and the special handling of the camera in the process of photographing produce new images of something that appears recognizable and familiar to the viewer, but at the same time strange and surprisingly different from his expectations.
The image, "the effects arise when taking the pictures. If at all, I work on them using 'analogue'means and - if need be - I do nothing beyond the possibilities offered in the darkroom. That's all. "(Alexander Fischer)
Meanwhile, nature has become a category of culture, we have appropriated it, ar in control of it. What is perceived as natural, is often a romanticized idea of a good harmonic structure due to nothing more than a simulation - an therefore it might be not quite sharp! She can't be understood as an object that can be depiceted in a mimetic way, but rather as a subject, that allows a basis for the creation of a new image - but using the conditions of the photographer.
The similarity of the reproduced object - be it the structure of a tree or flowers, etc. - and the reflection on it relate to each other, but at the same time they fence off against another.
