London's Trafalgar Square is littered with public sculptures. Many
of them commemorating military victories of times long past. Last week a new and quite unique sculpture was unveiled atop the fourth plinth. Visitors to the square will now see a four metre high bronze sculpture with a small boy astride a rocking horse.
It was made by the Scandinavian artists Ingar Dragset and
Michael Elmgreen. We invited them into our London studio to discuss their work and the role of public sculpture.
