Mark Fisher (1947-2013) was the grandest architect of rock concerts and shows. He created dazzling and innovative shows for the most famous singers and bands of our time, including Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Pink Floyd, Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson and Jean Michael Jarre, as well as the extravagant events for Walt Disney World and Cirque du Soleil.

Before Mark Fisher, audiences experienced the bands on an empty stage with some lighting equipment and maybe a flickering movie in the background. After Fisher, it was right in the middle of a wild electronic theatrical experience.

In Germany as well as worldwide, Mark Fisher is known as the designer of the historic moment that nearly half a million people watched live and millions on screens when, nine months after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, he designed the legendary concert The Wall - Live in Berlin by Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters and other guest artists on the ruins in the no man's land between Potsdamer Platz and Pariser Platz.

Mark Fisher's designs "rock." He was an excellent, fantastic draftsman. As a student at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London in the 1960s, Fisher had lessons with members of the famous and influential Archigram group, which revolutionized futuristic design through its high-tech worlds. Fisher began designing new pop architecture, including in particular lightweight pneumatic structures that helped create his movable inflatable figures for Pink Floyd and The Wall concerts. His drawings could be technical as well as diagrammatic: swirling pastel strokes of luminous psychedelic light effects roaming the night sky on purple-black paper. He belonged to a generation that used CAD (computer-aided-design) without losing a sense of drawing brilliance.

The exhibition on Mark Fisher traces his career as a stage designer through his drawings and sketchbooks, accompanied by videos of the live concerts, footage of the set-up and private photos from the architect's (working) life.
