Broadcasting Gelderland as Living Statue

Regional TV station "Omroep Gelderland" as Living Statue

The last weekend of August 2009 took place the 5th anniversary of World Statues Festival (Living Statues Festival, World and dutch Championship Living Statues) in the city centre of Arnhem (Netherlands) with more then 250 participants and over 300.000 visitors.

 

The term living statue refers to a mime artist who poses like a statue or mannequin, usually with realistic statue-like makeup, sometimes for hours at a time.

This is an art that requires a great deal of patience and physical stamina.
