Notes

Michael Prizeman, 42 from Kent where he has lived all his life, he saw the project on the news initially and decided to take part because he liked the idea of being a work of art. On the plinth he is planning on talking about himself and who he is, aswell as perhaps playing the tenor horn which he hasn't played in many years. He used to be a member of the Salvation Army and is now manager of an electical shop. He loves music, but he doesn't like playing music without a purpose which is why he stopped playing after leaving the Salvation Army. He talks about his work in the Salvation Army and the people he met. He thinks that the most important thing is to be happy but says that he does not have a very high opinion of himself and thinks this is because he does not fit the normative 'demographic mould' - not married, no kids, not particularly successful, does not drive. He thinks that the project has been very entertaining and allowed people to be themselves.
