Camille Fischer was born in 1984, lives and works in Strasbourg and is represented in Paris by the Maia Muller gallery. She is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Antwerp (fashion design) and the HEAR Strasbourg (jewellery workshop). Her practice is multidisciplinary, combining drawings, collages, objects, jewellery, clothing, textiles, performances and installations to reach a "Gesammkunstwerk". The baroque aesthetic she developed fits in some ways in a symbolist heritage, that she’s assuming actually, quoting William Morris, Maeterlinck or Huysmans for instance. Comparable in sophistication, this work differs, however, in refusing the morbid fascination, but retaining the historical concern of artists then, before the changes announced by the industrial revolution, which echoes her generation to the comparable contemporary challenges of globalization.
