living statues

Living statues are performers who paint themselves to look like statues or sculptures and hold still for extended periods, often in public places. They typically wear costumes that enhance their statue-like appearance and may incorporate props. These artists aim to surprise and entertain passersby, often creating a striking visual experience. Audiences may interact with them, and they sometimes use subtle movements or facial expressions to engage viewers. Living statues can be found in street performances, festivals, and cultural events, adding a unique artistic element to urban environments.
