Event Horizon is the name of a large-scale public sculpture installation by the English artist Antony Gormley. Originally mounted in London in 2007, the project consists of 31 life-size anatomically-correct male bodies, 27 constructed of fiberglass and four of cast iron, all cast from the body of the artist himself. which were placed on top of prominent buildings along the London's South Bank – for example the Shell Building and Waterloo Bridge. Part of Gormley's 2007 retrospective exhibition Blind Light at the Hayward Gallery, it was best viewed from the gallery's terraces. One of the figures was featured in the opening credits of the first episode of Ashes to Ashes. The statues were occasionally mistaken as suicide attempts. The installation was taken down in August and September 2007. [Wikipedia]
