Made In England

Antony Gormley is using the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square as a base for the participants to represent humanity and the diverse population of the UK. The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square will host the 2400 participants who include: A housewife from Sleaford, a nurse from Brighton, and a Sri Lankan student from London.

Rachel Wardell, a 35 year-old housewife from Sleaford, was the first participant to take her place on the plinth at 9am on the 6 July. The project, which is commissioned by the Mayor of London and produced in partnership with Sky Arts will see a different person take their place on the Fourth Plinth every hour, 24 hours a day for 100 days.

Watch the first eight hours of the 'Plinth Project' in forty seconds.
