LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 19: Nominated artists Shuddha Sengupta of the Raqs Media Collective (L), Heather Phillipson (2L), Michael Rakowitz (2R) and Damian Ortega (R) pose for photographers at the unveiling of the shortlisted artworks for the position on Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth, during the launch at National Gallery on January 19, 2017 in London, England. The fourth plinth was built in 1841 to display an equestrian statue but remained empty for 150 years. In 1999, the first of a series of temporary artworks was placed on the plinth with the sculptures being replaced on a regular basis ever since. (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
