One & Other: Rachel Denton pre-plinth interview (2009) by wellcomelibrary

This recording is from a series of 2400, which were captured by the Wellcome Trust prior to the participants ascending to the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, Central London, between 6th July and 14th October 2009. Antony Gormley's live artwork was commissioned by the Mayor of London. A group of 20 'plinthers' were then selected by the Wellcome Trust for follow-up interviews a year later.

Rachel Denton speaks to Kate Rowles. Rachel is a Christian hermit who has taken vows of poverty, chastity and solitude. Rachel was inspired to apply for a place on the plinth by the stylites of the fourth to sixth centuries and she has decided to spend her time on the plinth praying for prisoners.
