ReplyDeleteDefinitely a type of performance art...and very different variations thereon.
Fascinating!
The living statues are cool; enjoyed seeing the preparation photo.
The Puli "lions" were particularly interesting because it seemed all four of the participants had bellies to suit the beast. :-)
Cool! That first living statue is incredible.
ReplyDeleteThose living statues are amazing!
ReplyDeleteOn tv I'm following a show called Skin Wars, about a group of artists using human form for their canvas. Fascinating!
Amazing! Thanks for showcasing such a variety. (And I haven't even gotten my makeup on yet today....)
ReplyDeleteI like how happy the world cup fans look!
