Fourth Plinth - Definition Post

Ideas for the fourth plinth:

  • Dinosaur
  • Converse
  • Glasses
  • Shoes
  • Watch 
  • Bus
  • Teddy 
  • Chicken
  • Flowers 
  • Bus

The fourth plinth is when an object appears to be in an ambiguous situation/somewhere it shouldn't. The fourth plinth is situated in Trafalgar Square, London. It is a rolling programme of temporary sculptures, rather than having merely one figure. There's a plinth in each 4 corners in Trafalgar Square. 





Cedric Delsaux:

Cedric was born in 1974. He was first known for his advertising campaigns. He attempts to combine reality with fiction, as apparent in the following star wars based images below.  





The image on the left combines reality with fiction, as the characters placed around, and on, the car are fictional. This image is a mixture of different beiges, reflecting the dusty texture of the environment. I do not like the forth plinth, however in this instance i do like it, as it is realistic and doesn't look completely artificial. 









This image is realistic, the red of the light saver completely contrasts the black, dull colours surrounding it, this draws your eye into the image, allowing you to have a focal point. This image appears to be a still from an action movie, and it extremely believable. 



This urban-style image is captivating, as in the background you can see buildings, implying you're in London, however in the foreground the giant alien-like ship contrasts this and creates an industrialised appeal. The dim lights also imply there's a 'secretive' feel about it, creating intimacy within the image.
