Tony Heaton’s Monument to the Unintended Performer was created to celebrate Channel 4’s involvement and commitment to the Paralympics. It is made up from four elements. The Big 4 itself, a figurative element based on the classical Greek marble sculpture Discobolus by Myron, a wheel from the international symbol of access and the element of colour in the form of bronze, silver and gold. The sculpture is lit by neon during the day in the wheel and the discus, and additionally at night by spot lighting to accentuate the colours.

 

The design was installed on the Big 4, on behalf of Tony Heaton, by FreeState Ltd – working alongside sub-contractors Millimetre Ltd, Atelier One Ltd, Enliten Architectural Lighting, Syrett Neon International and Dalton Warner Davis LLP – Commercial Property & Town Planning Consultants.
