The body as a place of memory and transformation

YouTube - Antony Gormley - The Art Fund: "Over the last 25 years [British sculptor] Antony Gormley has revitalised the human image in sculpture through a radical investigation of the body as a place of memory and transformation, using his own body as subject, tool and material."
What he says near the end (3:03) of the video really got me thinking: "The art exists most potently in the memory of the viewer".
