Thorsten Fleisch

Thorsten Fleisch is an artist who was born in Germany. He began experimenting with super 8 film in high school and continued working in film throughout his career.

This was his first super 8 loop he showed in high school

This is his film called Energie! that was screened at more than 150 film festivals. He used uncontrolled high voltage to expose sheets of photographic paper. It's awesome.


Check out more of his film work on his Vimeo.

  1. This is so cooooolllllll. I think Nia showed us this artist? There's a hint of rebellion and punk aesthetic in his stuff that I love.

  2. That Energie! film is the bomb dot com! I can see why it was screened in so many places; no matter how long that film is, I would never get tired of looking at that. They look like neurons and bolts of lighting. Very captivating!
