"Statuia vie" de Antony Gormley in Trafalgar Square

Almost 5,000 people sign up to take their place as part of sculptor's 'living artwork' in Trafalgar Square.

Ever since Antony Gormley was commissioned to winch people up on a plinth in the middle of Trafalgar Square to do whatever they wished, doom-mongers have predicted the "living artwork" would become a soapbox for extremists, nudists and the nation's most depraved exhibitionists.

But for the sculptor, there is only one worse outcome than this: for none of the above to happen.

His Fourth Plinth commission will be installed from 6 July and Gormley said yesterday that he would be disappointed if everyone who was chosen to be winched atop the plinth as part of One and Other behaved sensibly.
