The Margate Exodus Antony Gormley's Burning Sculpture
On the 30th September 2006 Antony Gormley’s Waste Man was burned to the ground in front of an audience of thousands in the seaside town of Margate. Constructed entirely of the detritus of modern consumer society – planks of wood, tables, chairs, keyboards, paintings, dartboards, a front door, toilet seats.
Promethus Fire were commissioned on this project for the cladding and filling of the waste man and were responsible for the overall burn of this amazing sculpture.
