Renowned for his breathtaking animal illusions, Johannes Stötter has captivated audiences worldwide with creations like The Chameleon, the seaturtle, the parrot, and the frog, where several individuals seamlessly merge into the form of a beast. Now, just before he went to a big Show in the USA, he unveils his newest creation, drawing inspiration once again from the mesmerizing world of animals.
Johannes Stoetter's appearance at the America's Got Talent judges' audition came just after the release of his new illusion. This audition is the step to the semi-final of the world's most important talent show. All the new talents recorded in Los Angeles will be broadcast over the next few months. Then we will find out if the judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofía Vergara will ask Johannes to come back and perform in the next round.
The Tiger
In addition to the tiger's reputation as a symbol of strength, elegance, and allure, the tiger bodypainting stands out for its unique composition involving four human bodies. Also the intricate portrayal of the tiger's features but also the dynamic movements incorporated, such as the opening mouth and roaring, along with the swaying of the tail stands alone.
Making off from the perspective of Johannes Stötter:
"After years of refining my bodypainting craft, I've perfected the skill of creating illusions with human forms. Crafting the tiger illusion presented distinct challenges, especially in capturing the intricate details of the head and eyes. Through collaborative experimentation with models, we refined the composition through numerous tests. With a dedicated team of eight, including four models, two assistants, and a filmmaker, we meticulously brought the vision to life over a 10-hour process. The harmonious teamwork was pivotal in achieving the desired result, reflecting our shared dedication and passion for the project."
