For the 12th edition of the 'Fourth Plinth' project in
Trafalgar Square London, the artist Michael
Rakowitz unveils 'The Invisible Enemy Should Not
Exist'. The sculpture is inspired by Lamassu, a 7th century
winged bull which was destroyed near Mosul by ISIS in 2015. The
piece is made out of 10,500 empty Iraqi date syrup
cans.
Michael Rakowitz talks to us about heritage, the mourning of
the dead through objects, and the treasures found in everyday
trash. More on www.culturealt.com
