A man and a woman made entirely of chocolate, a
mermaid with a flowing tail and an axe-wielding medieval
executioner were also on display at the annual event in
Marche-en-Famenne.
Living statues are a common sight in many city centers, but it
is rare to see such a diverse range of this peculiar form of
street art for which performers must keep still for painfully
long periods of time to create the desired illusion.
Some of the statues in Marche came to southern Belgium from as
far away as Argentina, Russia and Italy and were seen by more
than 50,000 visitors.
