Austrian artist lays a trail of body sculptures across London

You might spot one spread against a wall or several crammed into a stairwell. And if half a dozen run past to form an orderly column in a gateway, just tell yourself it is art.

All around London Bridge today, 20 members of the Bodies in Urban Spaces project could be found in turns spread-eagled and squashed into the city landscape.

The project is choreographed by Austrian art director Willi Dorner. The "body sculpture trail" performance by the company will take place along a route from London Bridge to The Scoop at More London at intervals until Sunday.
