'Poo Man' becomes fourth plinth artwork
A man wearing a giant poo outfit is currently the oddest thing we have seen on Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth.Oliver Parsons-Baker, from Birmingham, took part in the Antony Gormley's living sculpture artwork yesterday while dressed at a giant lump of faeces.
The aquatic scientist says his poo costume was his way of highlighting the need for clean water around the world.
Oliver said: "The poo costume seems funny at first glance but there is a very serious message behind it."
It is just a shame that while wearing his poo suit no-one wants to stand next to him long enough to hear about it.
"2.5 billion people, that’s one in five of the world’s population, don’t have anywhere safe to go to the toilet," he continued."I want people to get behind me and demand that world leaders prioritise water and sanitation alongside health and education."
