Antony Gormley — Meme Lxi
Antony Gormley

Meme Lxi

A solid cast iron figure stands in quiet contemplation, its dense, weighty form embodying Gormley's enduring exploration of the human body as a site of inner and outer experience. The rough, oxidized surface of the metal speaks to transformation and time, while the anonymous, featureless figure invites the viewer to project their own sense of presence and absence onto its mass. *Meme LXI* continues Gormley's investigation into what it means to occupy space, challenging the boundaries between the self and the surrounding world.
