Volume as Interval

Volume as Interval

Antony Gormley — Line of Wake

The work maps the body as a series of intervals rather than a mass.

Space becomes the primary material.

Stillness replaces gesture.

Volume is implied through distance and repetition.

Structure holds through proportional spacing.

What is being held?
Volume is often read as mass occupying space, but that expectation is set aside. Here, distance replaces solidity as the primary material. Intervals hold the body apart rather than enclosing it. Stillness replaces gesture, and repetition replaces emphasis. What is being held is volume sustained through spacing, not weight.
