''Event Horizon'' is the name of a large-scale public sculpture installation by the English artist Antony Gormley. In 2012, they were installed in downtown São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Gormley describes his statues as "...showing solitary figures installed in groups yet retaining their sense of solitude and reflection." ==Installations== Originally mounted in London in 2007, the project consists of 31 life-size anatomically correct male bodies, 27 constructed of fiberglass and four of cast iron,〔Hayward Gallery exhibition catalog for ''Blind Light''〕 all cast from the body of the artist himself.〔''Event Horizon: Mad. Sq. Art.: Antony Gromley'' (Madison Square installation guide )〕 which were placed on top of prominent buildings along the London's South Bank – for example the Shell Building and Waterloo Bridge.〔(Gormley's figures appear on London's Horizon| Arts & Exhibitions | This is London )〕 Part of Gormley's 2007 retrospective exhibition ''Blind Light'' at the Hayward Gallery, it was best viewed from the gallery's terraces.〔(Southbank Centre )〕 The statues were occasionally mistaken as suicide attempts. The installation was taken down in August and September 2007. Gormley had previously constructed a similar project, ''Another Place'', in Crosby Beach. In 2010, the Event Horizon sculptures were installed in New York City at sites around Madison Square, as far downtown as Union Square and as far uptown as the Empire State Building. The 27 fiberglass figures were placed on setbacks and tops of buildings, while the four cast iron figures were on the ground in Madison Square Park. The installation was sponsored by the Madison Square Park Conservancy.〔 The 2012 installation in São Paulo〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In focus: Antony Gormley's Event Horizon )〕 and the 2015-16 show in Hong Kong are the same as the London design. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Event Horizon (sculpture)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
