Self Published 2019

The analogue color photographs by filmmaker and photographer Bernd Fischer, taken on trips through the Soviet Union between 1990 and 1994, show the imploding of a world power in an engaging and artistically independent way. Street photography as observations of everyday life in times of change. The pictures of Bernd Fischer take us back to those amazing days, to a time when all over Eastern Europe a sudden hope of unlimited freedom emerged. A freedom along with the sense of loss of power and security.
