In 2015, Antony Gormley launched an expansive art exhibition featuring 100 artworks strategically placed throughout the expansive Forte Belvedere in Florence, a renowned venue for international art presentations. This remarkable exhibition, known as “HUMAN,” was curated by Sergio Risaliti and Arabella Natalini. It seamlessly incorporated over one hundred of Gormley’s pieces, strategically positioned within the villa’s inner chambers, bastions, staircases, and terraces, essentially covering every facet of the 16th-century fortress. The fort boasted breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding hills.
The project was the result of a well-established collaboration between the director and the artist. The documentary film chronicles the intricate process of setting up the exhibition and the final artistic intervention. Within this narrative, the artist gradually comes to the forefront, shedding light on some of the most pivotal elements of his creative work. This insight was gained through a comprehensive examination of the exhibition and a series of interviews conducted between Florence and London, at the artist’s studio.
They are silent places that wait for our projection. They don’t illustrate an emotion, they are a location where some thought or feeling about the human condition is materialized.
Antony Gormley, 2015
Sculpture has always been a place where human beings have tried to somehow transmit something about human experience, something about our thought and our feeling into geological time.
