On Monday this week, Antony Gormley's fourth plinth exhibit opened, titled 'One and Other'.
The purpose of the project is for the general public to occupy the fourth plinth space 'normally reserved for statues of Kings and Generals' and to 'become an image of themselves, and a representation of the whole of humanity.' The plinth will be filled for 24 hours a day over the next 100 days.
We took to the exhibit because of its promotion of the everyday person from realtive obscurity to publicity and celebration. It tells us that we are (to some extent at least) fascinating and worth paying attention to - something core to our belief when it comes to interviewing and observation.
We captured a few vox pops of people's impressions of the event in which they praise the exhibition of everyday people:
