well sort of,
meet the Manusia Silver, or “Silver Men” of the streets of several
Indonesian cities, they are in fact beggars, a few years ago the South-East
Asian country of Indonesia has seen the rise of this new type of beggar, the
so-called Silver Men, inspired by the street performers who used metallic paint
to transform themselves into living statues and wow passers-by with their
doll-like movements, the Silver Men or Manusia Silver, as they are called in
Indonesian, simply adapted the look of these performers to their own skill –
begging,
ever since Silver Men started showing up at busy street intersections in Jakarta and other big cities, about a year ago, they have been getting a lot of attention booth from the press and on social media,
so much so that many more silver men have appeared and have become a public nuisance, to the point that police are now arresting and fining them to discourage them from pestering people for money, I have to wonder if the human body being covered in silver paint, as they are, has any health related side effects?
