Here are two photos of a naked man on the roof top.
They are in fact sculptures on the roof top. The photos were taken yesterday in the premise of the Asia Society Center, Hong Kong.
The South China Morning Posts reported that :
The “Naked Man” sculptures by a world famous artist mounted on the rooftop of buildings in Central Hong Kong have sparked calls to the police from citizens who mistook them for suicide attempts.
The 31 life-sized sculptures by UK artist Antony Gormley, part of the public art installation Event Horizon, confused some passers-by who thought they were witnessing someone about to jump off a building – the most common way of committing suicide in Hong Kong.
Yes I read about that art installation. Very novel indeed.
Gormley’s work is really interesting!
I hadn’t heard the controversy around these statues. The placement of many of Gormley’s statues seems to cause debate. I think people either love or hate his work. I’m a fan.
I am starting to like his work!
Excellent! I have been to one of his installations in remote
Western Australia
I trust you are impressed too!

Impressive shots. More impressive even, is the note that jumping is the most common way of committing suicide in HK? Oh.
Sometimes the suicide cause lives and other damages too!
I thought something along those lines. There are many people on the street. always. Some can get hurt. Or even killed by a “jumper”. Too bad.
“Look before you leap!”
Please. 🙂
