One & Other was artist Antony Gormley’s extraordinary commission for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square where over 100 days, from 6 July – 14 October 2009, 2,400 people from around the UK took their turn occupying the plinth continuously for an hour each. The ‘plinthers’ helped create a unique living monument, collectively termed ‘a portrait of Britain’.

With the help our our creative partners Artichoke, we took the project to a global audience through an interactive website with 24 hour live multicamera webstream and a weekly television highlights show presented live from Trafalgar Square.

So, who was on the plinth?
   1,210 men and 1,190 women
   Youngest plinther was 16 years old, oldest 84
   95 pensioners and 131 teenagers
   127 teachers and 332 students
   1 person had to be rescued
   3 people jumped off
   11 proposals of marriage, one declined
   13 people bared all on the plinth, one was told to put his pants back on…

One & Other - the offical book
The One & Other book contains studio portraits of all the ‘plinthers’ prior to their appearance as we capture the emotional intensity and the personally transformative effect that was created by one of the most extraordinary works of public art in our time.
