Project84 is an art installation comprising life-size statues of 84 men on top of the ITV buildings at Southbank in London, England. It aims to highlight the fact that, in the United Kingdom, an average 84 men commit suicide each week.[1][2]

The installation was created by artist Mark Jenkins and the charity 'CALM' (Campaign Against Living Miserably).[1]
