Antony Gormley installs iron figures among ancient ruins on the Greek island of Delos



Artist Antony Gormley has unveiled Sight, an exhibition of 29 of his humanoid sculptures on the Greek island of Delos in the Aegean sea.
British sculptor Gormley, creator of the Angel of the North, has installed the forms across the island taking advantage of both the scenery and ruined ancient Greek and Roman architecture.

"In this atmosphere of light there is a feeling of timeliness, of being outside industrial time," said Gormley.
"Sculpture is a threshold to another attitude to time; it provides the invitation to escape mechanised time as we know it."
Antony Gormley's sculpture Connect, 2015, is one of the 29 on display this summer
Sight, which was commissioned by nonprofit art foundation Neon, includes five new works, displayed alongside 24 existing Antony Gormley pieces. The figures are displayed across the island, including among ruined ancient columns, at the centre of an amphitheatre, at the water's edge and standing in the sea.

One of the figures from Gormley's 1999 ? 2013 series Another Time has been placed at the rocky edge of the island, with two more from that era perched on Plakes Peak and on Mount Kynthos.
Other sculptures have been placed amongst the ruined remains of ancient merchant stores, with another displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Delos.
