Alive but silent. Living statues contest in Sochi.

Got art? These people think they do. When a statue is not really a statue but a decorated human being… is that still art? Am I asking stupid questions?

A living statues contest was held in the Russian city of Sochi earlier this month. Looks pretty interesting. What amazes me most here is that I really can’t tell that these exhibits are all living, breathing people. Perhaps you could better discern their humanity if you saw the show in person… or maybe it’s just a Russian thing ;-)
