    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the artists who recreate their ordinary lives in the vacant plinth in Trafalgar Square in London, England. The public theater was organized by British artist Antony Gormley who, according to the author, stated that his purpose was to celebrate the ordinary individuals who make up Great Britain. The author opines that turning ordinary people into celebrities takes place in the U.S. as exemplified by social media such as Twitter, where anyone can have a public voice.
