Powerless Structures Fig.101
By Elmgreen & Dragset
The latest sculpture on Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth. Designed by Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset.
The work "proposes a paraphrase of a traditional war monument beyond a dualistic worldview predicated on either victory or defeat. Instead of acknowledging the heroism of the powerful, Powerless Structures, Fig. 101 celebrates the heroism of growing up. It is a visual statement celebrating expectation and change rather than glorifying the past".
