``The Fountain of Filth``, Observation Point, Southbank, London.
A site-specific commission and collaboration with 4Creative to raise awareness and provoke interest in Channel 4's new drama 'Dirty Business' - exposing the sick truth being Britain's sewage scandal.
A dozen individuals impacted by the issue were modelled vomiting up raw sewage while the water industry CEO above pockets his millions…
Over 100,000 people saw the installation live and the work reached millions being featured in The Times, The Guardian, The Independent, The Mirror, Time Out and Secret London.
“We wanted to take something as familiar as a public fountain and turn it into a national talking point. It’s provocative by design. Dirty Business confronts the grim reality behind Britain’s sewage scandal, and The Fountain of Filth forces it into the open.”
David Wigglesworth,
Executive Creative Director, 4Creative
