Johan Lorbeer is a German street performer who became famous for his public “Still-Life Performances”, such as, the famous “Proletarian Mural” and “Tarzan”. Several of these performances feature Lorbeer in an apparently impossible positions, where seems to unhinge the laws of gravity. In his performances he would elevated or reduced to the state of a sculpture for hours on end and he would interact with his often bewildered and irritated audience.
