Johan Lorbeer is a German street performer. He became famous in the past few years
because of his "Still-Life" Performances, which took place in the
public area. His installations includes "Proletarian Mural" and
"Tarzan", which are famous in Germany. Several of these performances
feature Lorbeer in an apparently impossible position.With his still-life
performances,
this German artist seems to unhinge the laws of gravity. For hours on time, he
remains, as a living work of art, in physically impossible positions. Elevated
or reduced to the state of a sculpture, he interacts with the bewildered and
irritated audience, whose appetite for communication rises as time goes by,
often culminating in the wish to touch the artist in his superhuman, angelic
appearance.
