Antonia Fischer (b. Munich, Germany), designer and researcher drawn to objects, spaces and the personal connections that sit between them.

Rooted in phenomenology and a deep curiosity for materiality, her practice investigates how perception, objects and environments work together to reveal the way we live. Through making and writing, she explores the 'felt-space', reflecting on how the spaces we inhabit and the objects around us shape our everyday experience.

She holds an MA in Interior and Spatial Design from the University of the Arts London, as well as a BA in Product Design from the University of Applied Design Schwäbisch Gmünd.

She is currently based in London.

Exhibition

Peckham Levels
Grant-funded (group exhibition)

Echoes of Presence
examines how memory and gesture inscribe physical space. This grant-funded installation at Peckham Levels in London evolved from research into mark-making and the unconscious traces left by physical interaction. 

Prior to the exhibition, a public workshop invited participants to draw on paper, responding to a set of prompts and focused on the marks they were consciously making. What they could not see was that hidden layers of paint beneath were simultaneously capturing every gesture as they worked, recording the incidental alongside the deliberate. Only at the end were these hidden layers revealed. The exhibition then presented both together: the marks participants knew they were making and the ones they didn't. In doing so, it reframed the workshop as a site of double inscription, asking what it means to leave a trace without knowing.
