human statue
Motionless street performer
A human statue is a street performer who stands motionless in costume and makeup, often painted to resemble bronze or marble, mimicking a statue in public spaces.
They typically hold a pose until passersby drop money in a container, at which point they may move, bow, or interact briefly before freezing again.
A human statue of the Statue of Liberty stood in Times Square.
