One of my colleagues recently became the centre of attention in Trafalgar Square in London, England. He was randomly selected to participate in a special “living monument project” called One & Other, conceived by artist Antony Gormley.
The One & Other project involves a different person occupying the Fourth Plinth* in Trafalgar Square on their own for one full hour. The project runs 24 hours a day for 100 days without a break.
Many of those chosen are using their one hour to showcase their talent or to raise awareness for various plights or diseases.
My colleague was no exception… He made and broadcasted a chain of messages from friends (some even in real-time) – to help raise money for Sightsavers International.
Check out the streaming video of Tim's "performance art" here.
*The Fourth Plinth is the name given to the empty plinth in the north-west corner of Trafalgar Square in London. It was originally designed to display an equestrian statue but there were not enough funds available at the time to create a statue, so the plinth remained empty.
