Antony Gormley – Horizon Field Hamburg
British artist Antony Gormley has developed a spectacular new installation especially for the large Deichtorhalle: “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 reorientation and reconnection 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.
