All the sculptures - this is not a figment of imagination. Each has a specific prototype, with the first and last name - the people who Donated to install the form of his body. Flipped through the book, dedicated to this project - it is painted, as it was done. Nearly three hundred volunteers between the ages of one and a half to 80 years methodically wrapped in polythene, then the grid for the future framework of gypsum, gypsum plaster - in short, becomes real form. After removal of a group of masters (not Gormley himself) fill the resulting cast iron frame construction, a fixed spot welding. Process ооочень time consuming and undoubtedly expensive. But it was worth it. The truth?

An example of how industrial technologies intended to substitute for the creative act, inspired, sacred impulse of the artist, emasculating the very concept of art.
