Uffizi Mime
Uploaded: September 26, 2009 05:26:21
Posed as a statue, this mime was dressed in what looked to be paper mache in front of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. His garments are somewhat stiff, and he has a flour-like substance on his clothes, face and hands. Even his eyebrows are powdered with something. (Perhaps someone can help identify the technique he used). Category -- Details and Macro.

Thanks all for your kind comments. I just don't know how these mimes prepare for the pose. Of course, they don't move a muscle. But the plasters or whatever they use? Perhaps that's why they're so unique. #7986331Anne M. Young September 26, 2009
