100 Days of Living Sculpture

Sculptor Antony Gormley is embarking on an epic and ambitious project this summer. He plans to create a living monument at the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in London. In the space normally reserved for statues of Kings and Generals, ordinary individuals will become a representation of the whole of humanity.

He explains how it works:

Every hour, 24 hours a day, for 100 days without a break, a different person will make the Plinth their own. If you’re selected, you can use your time on the plinth as you like. One & Other is open to anyone and everyone from any corner of the UK. As long as you’re 16 or over and are living or staying in the UK, you can apply to be part of this unforgettable artistic experiment.

You can play your part in making this idea a reality – either by volunteering yourself, by telling others about it, or by experiencing it online or in the square itself.
