Dressed in reflective yellow construction gear while working under the cover of darkness early Monday, a small group of artists installed a tribute to NSA-leaker Edward Snowden in a Brooklyn park.
The Snowden bust stands atop a column at the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument in Fort Greene Park, a site built to honor more than 11,000 American prisoners of war who died aboard British ships during the American Revolutionary War.

Le buste a d’abord été recouvert de plastique bleu, pour le cacher au public. L’inscription « Snowden » qui figurait au pied de la colonne où il avait été installé, dans le parc de Fort Greene, a également été recouverte.
Certains touristes et New-Yorkais se photographiaient néanmoins devant, jusqu’à ce que des employés du parc emportent le buste en plâtre, d’environ 40 kilos.

Hours after police removed an illicit bust of Edward Snowden from its perch in a Brooklyn park on Monday, artists replaced it with a hologram.

Illicit Snowden statue put New York City officials in ironic dilemma

The bust put unwitting New York parks officials (and, more so, their bosses) in an interesting dilemma: either allow an illegal installment, or look heavy-handed by covering up and tearing down a visage of the man who revealed damning secrets the government would much rather have kept under wraps. They chose the latter, making an ironic fate for a statue of someone living in political exile.
Even more ironic, and a good deal more troubling, will be if city officials track down and bring charges against the artists. A New York Police Department spokesperson told a local NBC affiliate that the department “will be looking for DNA and other clues that may lead to a suspect.”

« Nous avons été étonnés, ont déclaré les sculpteurs anonymes au site Mashable, de voir que la statue a été recouverte avant d’être déplacée, comme s’il s’agissait d’une #profanation.
