00:00You might be wondering what's going on here.
00:03Here's the story.
00:04This is a statue of Russian President Vladimir Putin
00:08riding a tiny tank
00:10completely covered in red.
00:12The statue popped up in New York City's Central Park,
00:14but let's zoom out.
00:16It was placed in the middle of a playground.
00:19Since it appeared, several children have been spotted playing with it.
00:23Weird, maybe, but it was on purpose.
00:26French street artist James Colomina
00:28explained his installation in an Instagram post saying,
00:31This sculpture aims at denouncing the absurdity of war
00:34and at highlighting children's courage
00:36when faced with violent, catastrophic situations triggered by others.
00:40Colomina is known for using these red statues
00:43and placing them seemingly unannounced.
00:45And this particular statue has also been seen in Paris.
