One & Other is a piece of performance art organised by Antony Gormley and currently taking place in Trafalgar Square, London. It can be viewed on the official website here.
2,400 members of the public, chosen randomly by computer from over 30,000 applicants, each occupy the square's vacant plinth for an hour at a time.
Most participants treat the plinth as a stage. Many speak on a mobile phone or blowing bubbles, often with automatic bubble generators. Others take photographs, do drawings, or display placards for worthy causes. Some propel paper planes; a few dare sit and do nothing.
