Still - Life Performances |
|
|
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 in order to participate in his abilities.
Here’s a little clue on the trick - His arm is the supporting bar, and his real arm is hide inside his cloth :)
