Catalogue Note
"Then there's that idea of who we are and what we look like. Your physiognomy belongs to me more than to you because I'm looking. The world of appearances is a shared communication. Where we derive energy in order to take part in the shared world of appearances is from the other side of them. I want to turn things round, or make you feel maybe there is somewhere outside the outside, or there are areas of experience that are independent of the functional side of the personal." - Antony Gormley, 1996
