South African artist Steven Cohen was arrested on Tuesday in
a "highly touristic place of Paris" and charged with sexual
exhibitionism.
"The eccentric artist paraded around Trocadero Square
facing the Eiffel Tower at 9.30am, clad in a bird costume, high heels and a
living rooster tied to his genitals," said news site RFI on Wednesday.
He was later released, with a court date scheduled for
December 16.
Parading in front of a group of tourists while mimicking the
movements of a chicken, the artist wore a chicken costume that consisted of
feathers on his hands and head, high-heel shoes, hot pants and long, red
gloves, reported Beeld.
According to RFI, Cohen's lawyer Agnès Tricoire said,
"Steven Cohen wanted to evocate his situation, shared between two
countries, South Africa, his native country and France, where he currently
lives."
