September 2009 - Performance space

The original:



The brief:
There are four plinths in London's Trafalgar Square, one in each corner. Three hold statues of famous people; the fourth has been empty since the time it was put up. Currently, the plinth is occupied by members of the public: following a ballot, they get an hour each to climb up there and do whatever they like. 

When I went past yesterday evening, however, the occupant was a woman in her pyjamas drinking a coffee from Starbucks while talking on her phone. 

Surely we can devise a better entertainment than this?

Nice work! You're quite the chopper :] Do you participate on any other comp sites like worth1000.com or anything? You could do really well.

Keep up the great work

I haven't tried Worth1000 yet, although I follow it every day. Their standard is extremely high!

Thanks for the great compliment!
