VOICED: Statues come alive in London's Trafalgar Square

The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, traditionally vacant, is transformed into a living art installation by Antony Gormley. For 100 days, individuals become human statues for an hour each, challenging perceptions of art and identity. Participants, like Jason, engage with the public, questioning their place in the symbolic versus real world. This project democratizes the plinth, usually reserved for historical figures, allowing ordinary people to become part of a groundbreaking art piece, broadcasted globally and exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery.
