The solo exhibition will also see one of the gallery’s historic main galleries flooded with water and mud.
Host, 2019 will fill an entire gallery with a vast expanse of seawater and clay – it is the first time Sir Antony has created the work in the UK.
The exhibition will run at the Royal Academy Of Arts until December (Yui Mok/PA)
The exhibition “will be a summation of Gormley’s enduring concern with the inner dark space of the body itself and the body’s relation to its surroundings”, the Royal Academy said.
Antony Gormley will run at the Royal Academy Of Arts from September 21 to December 3 2019.
