Saskia Fischer, born in Stuttgart, lives in Vilnius, Lithuania and Stuttgart. She is an artist researching the paradigms shaping the landscape as a reflection of cultural and social values. In particular, she investigates how Western worldviews reinforce a false separation between anthropological urbanism and the concept of nature through colonial taxonomies, building artificial barriers between land and communities. Her work synthesizes architecture, mobility, urban planning, landscape design, horticulture, and art history through interdisciplinary installations, public interventions, and photography.
