Künstlerisches Forschungsprojekt über Körper, Scham und Autonomie · Nur für Erwachsene · Keine expliziten Inhalte
Achim Mentzen is a German entrepreneur, sales and marketing professional, lecturer and professional driver who has developed the artistic project Living Sculpture / Transparenzprojekt since 2026.
His professional background spans international logistics, technical sales, key account management, business development, company management, marketing, quality management, digital marketing and adult education.
Living Sculpture uses the artist’s own body as the material of a live performance. The project examines nudity, shame, social norms, visibility and bodily self-determination.
A central statement of the project is:
The human body is not obscene.
The work does not ask audiences to adopt one particular view. Instead, it places an openly presented adult human body into a defined artistic and social context and documents the reactions, conversations and questions that arise.
The central format is a seven-day live performance in a suitable professional exhibition or project space.
The planned format includes:
The performance is presented as art and is not a sexual service.
Achim Mentzen trained as a forwarding and logistics professional and later worked for many years in international sales, key account management, marketing and company leadership. He has held roles including Sales Manager, Key Account Manager and Prokurist and has worked with international customers and partners.
His qualifications include Fachkaufmann für Marketing (IHK), quality-management and auditing qualifications, and later training in digital marketing, SEM/web analytics, content marketing, social media and e-commerce.
