Descriptif du lot

"I like the idea of a 'standard' body, but what I hope I've done is to completely remove the problem of the subject. I have a subject, which is life, within my own body. But in working with that I hope that it isn't just a 'standard' body: it is actually a particular one which becomes standardized by the processWhat I'm doing is realizing, materializing perhaps for the first time, the space within the body. It's certainly a very difficult thing to communicate, but it's to do with meditationIt has a lot to do with breath" (A. Gormley as quoted by E. H. Gombrich, "E. H. Gombrich in conversation with Antony Gormley," Antony Gormley, London, 1995, p. 10).
