For the 12th edition of the 'Fourth Plinth' project in Trafalgar Square London, the artist Michael Rakowitz unveils 'The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist'. The sculpture is inspired by Lamassu, a 7th century winged bull which was destroyed near Mosul by ISIS in 2015. The piece is made out of 10,500 empty Iraqi date syrup cans.  Michael Rakowitz talks to us about heritage, the mourning of the dead through objects, and the treasures found in everyday trash.
