living sculpture
Human becoming art
Living sculpture is art that incorporates living organisms or the human body as its medium.
Plants trained into shapes, performers holding poses for hours in galleries, or installations featuring growing moss all qualify.
The term emphasizes that the artwork changes, breathes, or ages: The artist stood motionless as a living sculpture for six hours.
