Sculpted Skin + Human Instruments + Transformed Flesh

Louis Fleischauer was born in Leipzig/East Germany behind the iron curtain and lives now the american nightmare.

The art of Louis Fleischauer is an invocation of primal energy as an answer to a sterilized, consumer friendly reality shaped by a mass media to bread one homogenized people. Living within an artificial reality we 'civilized' people have become disconnected from our true nature. Louis' art seeks to reopen a channel to the Pristine Self within the mind of the beholder.

Herr Fleischauer is a sculptor and performer using organic materials such as animal hides, bones, flowers, blood and his own skin. In his public rituals he turns humans into living sculptures and instruments, including his own body. Through a mix of agony and euphoria Louis falls into a state of trance. His sculptures are a reflection of this experience.

The truth lays within - open your flesh!
