Warning! A man is going to jump from the Empire State Building…

At first everyone thought it was a man on the verge of committing suicide from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, some have even called the police. However they were reassured by the notice that it was only a work of art. Indeed It was one of the disturbing sculptures of the "Even Horizon" project wich the artist Antony Gormley has spreaded on many roofs of Manhattan. "I think that those figures can help people to register their environment from a different perspective" said the artist and this is interesting because the installation can really offer to pedestrians a destabilizing moment for exit from the constant alienation often given by the city. In the end the work of art has a very strange effect because, as Gormley explained: “the viewer in some sense becomes the viewed”.
