Small World Futures is a collection of 38 miniature sculptures
depicting what life could look like in years to come. Each of these
small artworks will be placed in public spaces (#unsettledgallery)
around London Bridge. Every day throughout February we will be
featuring one of these worlds here on the website. A writer will also
use the world as inspiration to create something new and fresh, their
words describing the shape of a new world.
Today we discover the Small World Future of.... Sara Lerota
The Daily Londoner, 16th February 2068
Big Bong was almost entirely covered in scaffolding again today as
repair work continues apace on the iconic 300ft clock tower. The
world-famous clock face was barely visible as wooden scaffolding rose
up above its hands for the second time this century. The renovation
project has caused controversy as it means removing Big Bong’s
iconic fibreglass Gorilla for up to four years due to health and
safety concerns for workers.
A spokeswoman for the House of Commons said: "The commissions
expressed their disappointment that the Disney Corporation has
removed Boris the Gorilla. We are a national of animal lovers whether
they be fibreglass or otherwise”
But the Commons has confirmed that Boris will still ring in the
New Year and make an appearance for Remembrance Day, as well as any
other important national events.
Tourists disappointed by the removal of London's loveable ape can
have their holiday selfies fixed for free the government have
announced. Data storage company HomeOfficeInc is offering to
digitally alter photos taken of the landmark to restore it to its
former glory. The firm said a flood of customers had asked for the
service and since it has more than 200,000 pictures of the clock
tower and ape on file, the in-house Photoshop team are well-armed to
transform snaps marred by the building works.

You can find Sara Lerota's Small World Future tucked into the metal grills at the North end of Weston Street, London Bridge #unsettledgallery No.1. If you can find
it then you can take it home, or perhaps you will leave it for
someone else to discover.
Sara Lerota was born in 1989, in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
She represented her country by participating in a world art project
"PLUS YOU" which brought together artists from all over the
world and which was organized by Brigitte Williams and exhibited at
Woburn Studios (Slade-UCL) in London, United Kingdom. Although she favours traditional mediums like acrylics and pencils for her art she is currently experimenting in the use of
technology (3D modelling & 3D printing). Lerota recently exhibited some of this new conceptual work at the Ruskin Gallery in Cambridge with
Art Language Location colleagues (Feb 2018).
