Johann Fischer (Austrian, b. 1919) Johann
Fischer was born in Kirchberg am Wagram, a small town west of Austria,
in 1919. While he initially trained and worked as a baker, in 1940
he enlisted in the military. Held captive during WWII, six years later
he returned home and began to work on his parents farm. This
marked the beginning of the deterioration of his mental health, and
in 1967 he was hospitalized for hallucinations. For Fischer, this
time represents a death of the outside world followed by a rebirth
in the hospital. He believes that his previous life was not his own
but someone elses whom he has named his predecessor.
He states: I was made-created-made on June 16th, 1967, at the
cemetery of the Kierling-gugging hospital, between 6:30 and 10:00
PM, by the father of my predecessor god the father almighty. And from
a little seed, drawn from the well of proper seeds, following an additional
wish. |
