white light

I went to see anthony gormley's exhibtion at the hayward. its amazing. wasnt madly excited by the wire sculptures or that cloud thing.
the way the space and the sculptures work together, the way he makes you explore the actual space you are in. the best is the landscape and the people randomly placed in the skyline. everyone enjoys it. the white light thing where everyone enjoys the experience on their own but then you see them searching and calling out to ensure that there is someone out there'with' them. like a crazy game of hide and seek.
the rigid and solid figures.
especially the block of concrete with the hollow middle made from the cast of his body. its him still - a direct contact of the human presence and sterile, harsh and solid materials.
love it.
