...a wonderful innovation inspired by Gormley and curators of the Hermitage ... the ancient gods
have been brought down from their pedestals to the same level as the viewer (Mikhail Piotrovsky, Director, State Hermitage)
The installation shots ... show people, young and old, walking up to these statues as if they are
about to have a conversation. These things are no longer set apart from us or pushed to the edge. They are no longer raised up, unreachable objects of veneration (The Independent)
