Andreas Fischer’s first exhibition at Johann König, Berlin, refers to time. With its connotations of the “face of the grandfather clock”, its “brainbox” as it were, can only refer to the artist himself, who plays with the cogs and wheels and so shifts and displaces time. The clockwork mechanism can thus be seen as a symbol of Fischer’s art. Visible and concealed cogs are the engine of his electro-mechanical machinery; objects swinging to and fro, pendulum-like, give the rhythm – “tick-tock”.
