6/? Antony Gormley at The Hayward


Antony Gormley's Blind Light at The Hayward was one of my favorite exhibits that I went to. It was very unique and interactive. Of course my favorite was the Blind Light, where you walk in and can't see ANYTHING more than a foot in front of you, if that. I was definitely that obnoxious person screaming and laughing out of fear of getting lost or running into an unexpected visitor, but I couldn't help it. I'm pretty sure I held onto Alex the whole time and Eric scared the crap out of me and snuck up out of no where. I really liked the suspended human figures made out of wire, that at first I couldn't tell they were humans in the core of all the wire. Part of the exhibit was also the casted statues of himself placed around the city on top of buildings, very creepy at first. I was kind of surprised that it was actually allowed, just with everything going on in London with terrorism and the fact that it looked like someone might be about to jump off the edge of the building.
