About me

I wanted to take part in the project because I am an art history student and feel the use of the 4th plinth as a display of changing art work is culturally important. I also think it is a once in a life time opportunity to take part in a project from an artist I admire, as well as the only opportunity I'll have of being a sculpture in Trafalgar Square, even if only for one hour.

I plan to make a panoramic photograph while on the plinth, and so will not be exciting or interesting to watch...but then again, I'm not here to entertain.

  • Hi, Thanks for your comments, it was a really amazing experience and I only got heckled by 2 people and of course my friends. I have put up an early version of the photograph, it's clearly a rush job and needs a bit more time and effort but I hope you like it.

  • I'm on the plinth in August and the number of people who have asked me what I will be doing can;t be counted! I shall take note of your comments "and so will not be exciting or interesting to watch...but then again, I'm not here to entertain". Brilliant!

  • Can we have a link so we can see the photograph, please!

    One of the better ideas, I thought. Well done.

    Good plan - and quite right that you don't have to be entertaining ... just be true to yourself
