LIVING STATUE
Nowadays you see living statues all over the world.
They wear elaborate costumes and body paint, and
stand without moving for hours. But what's it like? Is it
difficult? I spoke to Nina, a living statue in London.
You need to be physically and mentally fit. It's
actually quite hard standing still
, and you have to eat
before you start or you feel ill.
We wear body paint so we look like real metal or
stone statues. Metallic paint takes over an hour to put
on and it's difficult to get off, too. Every week I have
a saune to clean my skin. I love designing different
costures and being creative. We even paint our
clothes to make them look heavy. In the winter you
need to wear thermal underwear under your costume
so you don't shiver with cold.

statues and 300,000 visitors. It was incredible! Most
