One & Other in Trafalgar Square

After my application back in April to be a part of Anthony Gormley's Living Monument in Trafalgar Square we went to visit the plinth while in London yesterday.

It was great watching the two particpants between 3 and 5pm. They were John L and Matt S. You can view their 'live' feed videos by clicking on the links in their names above.



Matt was throwing out parachute men toys to the crowd and I caught the first successful 'drop'!






So far 31,090 people, and me, have applied for one of the 2,400 places available. I haven't been selected yet, but my name will remain in the draw for places in September and October.

One & Other - an hour on the plinth in Trafalgar Square

One & Other is the brainchild of the artist Antony Gormley, best known for iconic statues such as The Angel of the North and the figures on the beach at Crosby, Merseyside. He is asking people from all over the UK to help create an incredible living monument by standing on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, for an hour each, 24 hours a day, for 100 days without a break.

And I have applied for a place!
