British sculptor Antony Gormley has added a crouched figure containing a guest suite to the facade of a London hotel. 英国雕塑家Antony Gormley在伦敦一家酒店的外立面附置了一个蹲伏人状物,内含一间客房。
Gormley's giant anthropomorphic ROOM sculpture is made up of rectangular blocks that form a shape of a man crouched with his arms around his needs. Gormlry的巨型拟人客房(ROOM)雕塑由矩形体块构成,呈现出一个手臂立于膝旁的蹲伏人形态。
The hollow figure sits on a section of flat roof at the new Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair. The space inside measures just four square metres, with a 10-metre-high ceiling and a small window positioned between the legs of the sculpture. Guests will be able to stay in the room for £2,500 per night when the hotel opens later this year. 这个空心体位于梅菲尔区新的Beaumont酒店一平屋顶上。内部空间仅4平方米,天花板高10米,雕塑的两腿间开了一扇小窗。年末酒店开张后,此客房每晚的费用将达2500英镑。
"I take the body as our primary habitat," said Gormley in a statement. "ROOM contrasts a visible exterior of a body formed from large rectangular masses with an inner experience." “我将躯体视为人类的主要栖息所,”Gormley在一次演讲中说。“ROOM使大的杂乱巨型体块堆积而成的直观人体外形与内部空间体验形成对比。”
"Shutters over the window provide total blackout and very subliminal levels of light allow me to sculpt darkness itself," Gormley added. "My ambition for this work is that it should confront the monumental with the most personal, intimate experience." “窗上的百叶提供了完全黑暗而难以察觉出光线的环境得以使我自由塑造黑暗,”Gormley补充道。“我作此设计的目的在于以最私密的亲历实现不朽。”
The Beaumont is the first hotel venture for restaurateurs Chris Corbin and Jeremy King, and is due to open in the autumn. Beaumont酒店是餐厅老板Chris Corbin和Jeremy King的第一次投资,计划于秋季开张。
Another of Antony Gormley's sculptures appears to guard the entrance to his own galvanised steel workshop, designed by London architects Carmody Groarke. Antony Gormley的另一些雕塑作品将置于他自己的镀锌钢作坊,该作坊由伦敦建筑师Carmody Groarke设计。
