Last Saturday, I went to the City Market with my mom. We bought tomatoes, corn, cherries, peaches, peppers, etc. I love going down there, because I love buying from the local farmers. I always try to buy local whenever possible. I just think it’s good to keep the money in the same city/state. Anyways, our city market is quite large, and there was all kinds of stuff going on last Saturday, a bird show, cooking demonstrations, etc. there was also this living statue. From a distance she looks like a really tall, really colorful mannequin. Upon walking closer we began to notice, “hey that’s a really person.” My thought was, “how random.” We continued walking on. Then someone put a dollar in that hat box in front of her, and oh my goodness she began moving. She moved really slow and fluid. It was really strange. After a few seconds of her flowing her arms around she froze again, and that is when I said, “okay, stop for a second I’m going to take a photo of her. That is just too random.” One other person put a dollar in while we were walking back by, and it was just so strange. It was almost a little creepy. I don’t know how much money she makes doing that job, but that is a very strange job. Standing there all day long – perfectly still – just waiting for someone to put a dollar in the hat box, so that you can move. Very, very random job. I wonder if they are hiring…
Wow. What an interesting concept. I dont’ think I’ve ever seen that before! I bet was neat in person, but yet a bit strange, too!

I wish our market has those kind of things like that living statue too… ;)

I think that’s pretty fascinating to say the least. You don’t really find much of that anywhere and I think it’s a fresh take on what performance can be.
