LONDON—It lasted 100 days and involved 2,400 participants doing a multifarious range of activities, such as singing, pole dancing, stripping, protesting, begging for a job, releasing live chickens, and making a plea for a prisoner on Texas’s Death Row. Now Antony Gormley’s public art creation, which had volunteers mounting an empty plinth in Trafalgar Square for an hour at a time, is over.

Wednesday was the final day for the “One and Other” project, and the final participant was a 30-year-old medical photographer who used her slot to remember victims of the 1989 Hillsborough Disaster, in which 96 Liverpool Football Club fans were crushed to death. As she came down from the plinth, about 200 onlookers sang the club's anthem, "You'll Never Walk Alone."
