Void as Form

Antony Gormley — Body Volumes

Void becomes form.

What holds the structure?
Void is often understood as absence, something left behind by mass. Here it does not read as lack, but as the primary organizer. The surrounding form exists to give the void precision. What holds the structure is not enclosure, but the careful maintenance of negative space. The body is mapped by what is withheld rather than what is filled.
