Six things you need to know about BERTA FISCHER:

1. she is a german artist who lives and works in Berlin
2. most of her works are cut from transparent acrylic glass or sheer PVC film
3. then bent and folded like anarchic origamis
4. in these sculptures, the cut edges of the Perspex sheets concentrate incident lights, creating glowing lines that subvert the sculptural outer form
5. however, her latest work (see above) explores new materials and their properties such as intertwined colored plastic nets, cotton and latex
6. her work has been exhibited throughout Germany, including solo shows at Giti Nourbakhsch (Berlin), Hammelehle & Ahrens, Projektraum (Köln) and Galerie Reinhard Hauff (Stuttgart) among others
