    artist Stéphane Barret had to rely on photos and videos to create the sculpture.

    Did they? Because he doesn’t look white in any of the results on Google

        “Whiteness” is pretty vague but…compare the skin tone on the statue to the pictures. It’s not even close

          It’s actually pretty close if you don’t account for the studio lights being blasted right at him in most photos.

          If you look at the regular pictures then it’s obvious what his actual skin colour is though.
