The planning proposal for Leicester Sq. is "Sex and The City: The Flying Brothel" created by Helena Van Lare.
The work creates a cable car / giant wheel above
the square. The work echoes the London Eye but transgresses it
as from the hovering pods the users can see nothing. Unlike the
London Eye, the pods in the Flying Brothel are not transparent,
and instead of being used for looking at the view, they are designed
to accommodate sexual activities. Having said that, the pods are
not totally opaque and the visitors on the ground of Leicester
Sq. can see the shadows of the lovers and their activities in the
pods.
