Gormley: Blind Light @ the Hayward Gallery


hayward-gallery-front.jpg

Here are a few snaps from this summers Antony Gormley’s exhibition/installation at the Hayward Gallery and the South Bank.

The latest installtion from Gromley - the Blind Light - is a vapour filled glass box that dizzies and disorients. With almost zero visibility, it is calming and cool yet curiously scary the heavy fog overwhelms your vision white with blindness. Visitors cautiously roam the space, occassionaly bumping into each other and all too often using the permiter wall to provide a reassuring support, a sense of direction.

Some
stunning photographs from the Guardian here.

As part of the Event Horizon, 31 casts of Gormley were scattered across the South Bank skyline. All eliery watching over the city, though some looking dangerously close to being jumpers:

A series of steel wire sculptures further explores the artist’s interest in the human body. More from Gormley’s website here.
