PHOTOS: Giant cherry with cream, fly and drone unveiled on London’s Fourth Plinth

The latest eye-catching sight in London’s Trafalgar Square is a giant swirl of whipped cream topped with a cherry, a fly and a drone. The sculpture by artist Heather Phillipson was installed Thursday atop an empty plinth in the landmark city square, famous as the location of Nelson’s Column and as a public protest site. The work, titled “The End,” is interactive — visitors can live-stream the view from the drone on their mobile phones or computers. Phillipson said the piece, whose unveiling was postponed by four months due to the coronavirus pandemic, was a “monument to hubris and impending collapse” but also symbolized the hope of renewal.
