    Trust Berlin to have a headless statue of Rihanna. Unveiled earlier this year, the statue is the work of Colombian artist Juan Sebastián Peláez.

    Currently displayed outside the Biennale for Contemporary Art in Berlin, Rihanna made her to way the art piece, which depicts her in a bikini, holding sunglasses.

    She snapchatted a pic of herself in front of the art work, holding the same pose – but no, she wasn’t wearing a bikini.

    The piece is titled ‘Ewaipanoma (Rihanna)’, and this how the contemporary art exhibition describes the peice:

    Ewaipanoma (Rihanna) is the latest work in Juan Sebastián Peláez’ series featuring upright, oversize photo-cutouts of headless human bodies—captured in athletic positions, sporting bikini swimwear, or posing in the limelight in glitzy, bling gowns—with faces surreally integrated into their chests. Both the bodies and faces are sourced from pop queens and soccer stars from the Caribbean or Latin America. A giant Rihanna welcomes visitors here in the courtyard. While hinting at the sometimes monstrous body modifications typical of celebrity culture, these works also reference longstanding projections of otherness. For these works Peláez was inspired by drawings from sixteenth-century explorers of the New World (like Sir Walter Raleigh), who on returning home described having encountered so-called “Blemmyae,” headless natives with faces on their upper, naked bodies.

    Rihanna has officially met Rihanna.
