Antony Gormley, Horizon Field Hamburg

Meer over het boek

That’s groovy! British artist Antony Gormley has developed a spectacular new installation especially for the large »Horizon Field Hamburg«, which will be on view during the documenta. The visitors will enter the north hall of the Deichtorhallen to be confronted by a space that is ­almost 2,500 sqm in size, nearly 19 m high, and ­virtually empty. In this open space a vast, black, reflective structure will float nearly seven and a half meters above the floor. »Horizon Field Hamburg« will provoke an experience of re-orientation and re-connection with walking, feel­ing, hearing and seeing. Individual and group experience will be medi­ated through vibra­tion, sound and reflection. The entire project could be seen as a horizontal painting stretched taut in space, on which the visitor be­comes a figure in a free ­floating, undefined ground. Deichtorhallen Hamburg, 27/4-9/9/2012
