No, the David in normally considered an statue, but Chisto and Jeanne are not Michelangelo:
They define themselves as environmental artists ("Labels are important mostly for bottles of wine") who "borrow space and create gentle disturbances for a few days. But, they say, their work is not about improving the landscape. Rather, "It is interpretation. Claude Monet painted the Cathedral of Rouen. One of his paintings is pink, one blue, one yellow. He never says that the cathedral is not beautiful. He makes an interpretation of the Cathedral of Rouen. This is art."
