Pleisterplaats

Pleisterplaats Levenskunst is the practice and creative brand of Brecht, based in Leiden, working at the intersection of love, the body and art. Its approach invites people to reconnect with their bodies, notice what they feel and explore greater presence, openness and ease, without treating them as something to fix. Brecht offers The Encounter, guidance around intimacy, sexuality and relationships for people seeking deeper connection with themselves or another person.

The Imprint is an intimate body-casting experience that can also become a tangible artwork, created to mark a personal moment or help someone meet their body in a new way. The brand also offers Love Art: artwork inspired by intimacy, tenderness and authenticity. Through its online atelier shop, customers can purchase body-imprint pieces, including forms featuring breasts, vulvas and penises.

Pleisterplaats also shares writing on love, relationships, embodiment and life. Whether someone comes with curiosity, a desire for support or a wish to celebrate, the work centres on creating space for more feeling, self-connection and genuine contact
