A new artwork by artist Heather Phillipson was unveiled on Thursday 30 July. It is the 13th Fourth Plinth commission since the programme began in 1998, it is also the tallest to date, measuring and weighing 9 tonnes. Heather PhillipsonÕs vast physical and digital sculpture tops the Fourth Plinth with a giant swirl of whipped cream, a cherry, a fly and a drone that transmits a live feed of Trafalgar Square. Entitled THE END it suggests both exuberance and unease, responding to Trafalgar Square as a site of celebration and protest, that is shared with other forms of life. The live feed of Trafalgar Square picked up by the drone's camera is visible on a dedicated website giving a sculpture's eye perspective. THE END is the first fully accessible commission on the Fourth Plinth. There is a braille panel included on the plaque, a tactile image of the work, and an audio description of the work on the GLAÕs website.
