superhuman - johan lorbeer

a man is hanging in mid-air with only one hand on the wall. would you call it an emergency? or would you call it art? Johan Lorbeer is a German artist who dazzles the world with his "still life" art installations. he's been seen hanging off public walls of germany and egypt where he seemingly defies gravity. there are no strings attached to the artists body nor any platform for him to stand on. dare to even walk underneath his levitated body. his most famous installations are ""proletarian mural" and "tarzan." this isn't street magician David Blaine's levitation trick anymore. Lorbeer becomes a still life structure, a sculpture - he is his own art piece. don't be surprised if we see the superhuman hanging off the the walls of downtown one day.
