About the creator: Antony Gormley
The squatting man balances on the boundary between land and water. Antony Gormley, known for 'Angel of the North', one of the most famous works of art in the United Kingdom, became fascinated by the manufacturability of the new polder. For this reason, he let himself for the gigantic work of art Exposure inspired by the virgin landscape. Driving through the polder, he discovered a landscape with a rhythm of straight lines of canals, fields and windmills. He then let the high-voltage pylons that lie like a nervous system in Flevoland in Exposure return.
The artwork can be recognized from afar as a transparent human form. The closer you get, the more abstract and impressive this complex piece of engineering becomes. Gormley often takes the human form as a starting point. Usually he uses his own body as an example.
