After Prince Harry faced criticism for revealing he killed 25 Taliban fighters who he viewed as 'chess pieces', Russian artist Andrei Molodkin says he will project a sculpture featuring blood donated by Afghans on to the cathedral, along with footage of the Duke of Sussex.
while serving in Afghanistan, writing that it was"not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me".
Molodkin said four Afghans in Calais had already given blood for the sculpture and another five Afghans in the UK will donate when the stunt is carried out before the end of March.The artist said about 1,250ml of blood will be used for the artwork after being taken from donors by a registered nurse, kept in a fridge and then"pumped" into the sculpture of the royal coat of arms.
Molodkin said he will attempt to take the Afghans' blood inside the cathedral - where Harry's parents, King Charles and Diana, were married - but he has not approached St Paul's to seek permission."It's a cathedral - it's for everyone. Everyone can come there and pray. Donating blood, it's kind of a way of praying.
"People who kill so many people and start a blood war like this… and try to brainwash… can't stay longer."To coincide with the World Cup in Qatar last December, Andrei Molodkin unveiled a replica of the World Cup trophy that slowly filled with crude oil.
