A investigação inerente à escrita da tese tem-me levado ao encontro de artistas cuja obra tem tanto de consistente - material e conceptualmente - como de sedutora.
Gormley seduz pela forma incisiva com que se aproxima do observador: na escala, no movimento, no modo de representação. Elabora com perícia esta fusão entre corpo humano e corpo arquitectónico, explorando-o nas muitas possíveis variantes.
"Over the last 25 years Antony Gormley has revitalised the human image in sculpture through a radical investigation of the body as a place of memory and transformation, using his own body as subject, tool and material. Since 1990 he has expanded his concern with the human condition to explore the collective body and the relationship between self and other in large-scale installations like ANOTHER PLACE, DOMAIN FIELD, and INSIDE AUSTRALIA. His recent work increasingly engages with energy systems, fields and vectors, rather than mass and defined volume, evident in works like CLEARING, BLIND LIGHT, FIRMAMENT and ANOTHER SINGULARITY."
