The Kunsthaus Bregenz and the British artist Antony Gormley are realizing a unique project in the mountains of Vorarlberg.Horizon Field will be the first art project of its kind erected in the mountains and the largest landscape intervention in Austria to date. This epic work consists of 100 life-size, solid cast iron figures of the human body spread over an area of 150 square kilometres.Antony Gormley, famous for his spectacular projects in archetypal natural landscapes, is realizing his latest work Horizon Field in the Bregenzerwald and Arlberg regions. Horizon Field sets up a relationship between the palpable, the perceivable and the imaginable.The work questions where the human project fits within the evolution of life on this planet and addresses the cultural, natural, and historical background of a landscape.It is above all this aspect that the authors of this catalogue – Eckhard Schneider, Martin Seel, and Beat Wyss – examine from different perspectives, positioning this unique work within the field of contemporary aesthetics. Accompanying the essays are sweeping photographs of the landscape installation alongside images of the artist's previous works.Published on the occasion of the project Horizon Field, August 2010 until April 2012, a landscape installation in the High Alps of Vorarlberg, Austria.English and German text.
