Antony Gormley: Body Politic
Antony Gormley’s "Body Politic" presents a compelling exploration of the human form as a vessel for examining identity, power, and societal structures. His installations challenge and expand our understanding of the body’s role within various spatial and social contexts, urging viewers to reflect on their own place within these frameworks.
Antony Gormley’s Body Politic and Gaston Bachelard’s The Poetics of Space both engage with ideas central to environmental geography, focusing on how physical spaces shape human experience. Gormley’s sculptures examine how the human body interacts with and is influenced by its environment, highlighting the spatial
dynamics that affect identity and perception. Bachelard’s exploration of space delves into how our surroundings impact our inner experiences and sense of place.
