Synopsis
Few current political issues are as powerful or as emotionally charged as the question of refugees and their rights and status. That issue, and the varied ways that people and politicians have responded to it, inspired artist Roland Fischer, after working on his previous publications Façades and Tel Aviv, to create a collective portrait of refugees that simultaneously shows the massive scale of the issue and turns the abstract concept of “refugee” into images of actual people whose faces, and need, cannot be so easily ignored. The more than one thousand separate photographs of individual refugees that make up Fischer’s work are a stark reminder that each refugee is an individual, with a life, a story, and hopes and fears for the future. The publication reproduces the complete oversized art works, as well as a selection of the individual portraits. No one who confronts this artwork will be able to hear media reports on refugees in the same way ever again. This is a highly topical piece of contemporary art on an exciting topic of sociopolitical debate.

Roland Fischer
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Roland Fischer was inspired by the current political and social events relating t o the topic of refugees to create a collective portrait consisting of over 1,000 separate photographs. Central questions about identity and solidarity, which are the subject of discussion in the socio - political debate, are raised and treated in an artistic manner. The term "refugees" is removed from its abstract context and real people appear in the viewer's field of vision, complete with name. As regards motif and topic, a collective portrait like this one, for which the artist mounted 1,000 individual por traits, hovers between the individual and the collective. While refugees and migrants are perceived primarily as an abstract collective and an indeterminate mass, especially as a result of the reporting in the media, Roland Fischer and his art project poin t out that this collective is comprised of many individuals with personal, individual fates.
